The origin of mother's day
Mother's Day originated in America. 1906 On May 9th, anna jarvis's mother died in Philadelphia, USA. She was very sad. The following year, on the anniversary of her mother's death, Miss Anna organized activities to commemorate her mother and encouraged others to express their gratitude to their beloved mother in a similar way.
1913 On May 10, the US Senate and House of Representatives passed a resolution, and President Wilson signed an announcement to decide that the second Sunday in May is Mother's Day every year. This move has caused countries all over the world to follow suit. By the time Anna died in 1948, Mother's Day had been established in 43 countries.
The origin of father's day
The world's first Father's Day 19 10 was born in the United States, initiated by Mrs. Bruce Dodd, who lives in Spokane, Washington, USA. Mrs. Dodd's mother died in childbirth when she gave birth to her sixth child. Mrs. Dodd's father, Mr. Williams Matt, took the responsibility of raising and educating six children alone after his wife died. A woman's carefulness makes her more aware of her father's hard work. Mr. Smart works hard during the day and takes care of the housework and the life of every child when he comes home at night.
From 65438 to 0909, when Mr Smart died, Mrs. Dodd knew in his heart that in the process of raising children, his father's love and hardship were no less than any mother's. Mrs. Dodd told Pastor remus his feelings in the church, hoping to have a special day to commemorate this great father in the world. The state government adopted this suggestion and set Father's Day on the third Sunday in June.
