While some countries have celebrated mothers for centuries, the modern American version of the holiday began in the early twentieth century at the initiative of Anna Jarvis, who organized the first Mother’s Day service of worship and celebration at Andrews Methodist Episcopal Church in Grafton, West Virginia, which now serves as the International Mother’s Day Shrine.

It has nothing to do with the many traditional celebrations of mothers and motherhood that have existed for thousands of years throughout the world, such as the Greek cult to Cybele, the mother deity Rhea, the Roman festival of Hilaria, or the other Christian ecclesiastical Mothering Sunday celebration (associated with the image of Mother Church).

In other nations, however, Mother’s Day is still associated with these older rituals.
