Mother`s Day is a holiday honoring motherhood that is observed in different forms throughout the world. The American incarnation of Mother`s Day was created by Anna Jarvis in 1908 and became an official U.S. holiday in 1914. Jarvis would later denounce the holiday`s commercialization and spent the latter part of her life trying to remove it from the calendar. While dates and celebrations vary, Mother`s Day traditionally involves presenting moms with flowers, cards and other gifts.
