Mother’s Day first origins began in 1887, by Mary Towles Sasseen, a teacher in Henderson, Kentucky, she led her class in what is the first known observance of a Mother’s Day, focusing just on honoring mothers, better health practices and education.
Mother's Day was officially adopted as a commercialized holiday in the U.S. in 1914 by growing from a 1908 memorial service into a national holiday celebrated on the second Sunday in May. While rooted in earlier peace movements and, and civic clubs, now it is recognized globally.
