The next register is at the beginning of century XVII, when England started to dedicate to the room sunday of the Quaresma to the mothers of the English laborers. In this day, the workers had recess to be in house with the mothers. It was call of “Mothering Day”, fact that gave to origin to “mothering cake”, a cake for the mothers whom the festive day would become still more.
In the United States, the first suggestions in favor of the creation of a date for the celebration of the mothers were given in 1872 by the Júlia writer Ward Howe, author of “the Hymn of Battle of the Republic”.
But she was another American, Ana Jarvis, in the State of Virginia Occidental person, who initiated the campaign to institute the Day of the Mothers. In 1905 Ana, son of shepherds, lost its mother and entered in great depression. Worried about that suffering, some friends had had the idea to perpetuate the memory of its mother with a party. Ana wanted that the party was extended to all the mothers, alive or deceased, with one day where all the children if remembered and homaged its mothers. The idea was to fortify the familiar bows and the respect for the parents.
During three years followed, Anna fought so that the Day of the Mothers was created. The first official celebration only happened in 26 of April of 1910, when the governor of Virginia Occidental person, William E. Glasscock, incorporated the Day of the Mothers to the calendar of commemorative dates of that state. Quickly, other North American states had adhered to the commemoration.
Finally, in 1914, then the president of the United States, Woodrow Wilson (1913-1921), unified the celebration in all the states, establishing that the National Day of the Mothers would always have to be commemorated in as the sunday of May. The suggestion was of the proper Anna Jarvis. Soon time, 40 countries had more than adopted the date.
