What narrative does Mother’s Day contain?

Mother’s Day first occurred in 1908. Anna Jarvis prepared a tribute for her mother to start the day. During the American Civil War, Ann Jarvis, a peace campaigner provided care for injured soldiers. The International Mother’s Day Shrine is currently housed at St Andrew’s Methodist Church in Grafton, West Virginia where the event took place. After her mother passed away in 1905, Anna Jarvis started to promote the American custom of Mother’s Day.
