During the early part of the 20th century, Anna Jarvis campaigned to make Mother’s Day a holiday in the US. It was first celebrated in 1908 at the St. Andrew’s Methodist Church in Grafton, West Virginia, and Congress eventually passed a law making it an official holiday in 1914, designating the second Sunday in May as Mother’s Day.
