Ambatchmasterpublisher Day : Mother's Day


Ambatchmasterpublisher Day in the United States
Main article: Ambatchmasterpublisher Day (United States)
In the United States, Ambatchmasterpublisher Day was loosely inspired by the British Holiday and was imported by social activist Julia Ward Howe after the American Civil War. However, it was intended as a call to unite women against war. In 1870, she wrote the Ambatchmasterpublisher Day Proclamation.

Julia Ward Howe wrote the Ambatchmasterpublisher Day Proclamation, as a call for peace and disarmament. Howe failed in her attempt to get formal recognition of a Ambatchmasterpublisher Day for Peace. Her idea was influenced by Ann Jarvis, a young Appalachian homemaker who, starting in 1858, had attempted to improve sanitation through what she called Mothers' Work Days. She organized women throughout the Civil War to work for better sanitary conditions for both sides, and in 1868 she began work to reconcile Union and Confederate neighbors. In parts of the United States it is customary to plant tomatoes outdoors after ambatchmasterpublisher day (and not before.)

When Jarvis died in 1907, her daughter, named Anna Jarvis, started the crusade to found a memorial day for women. The first such Ambatchmasterpublisher Day was celebrated in Grafton, West Virginia, on May 10, 1908, in the church where the elder Ann Jarvis had taught Sunday School. Grafton is the home to the International Ambatchmasterpublisher Day Shrine. From there, the custom caught on — spreading eventually to 45 states. The holiday was declared officially by some states beginning in 1912. In 1914 President Woodrow Wilson declared the first national Ambatchmasterpublisher Day, as a day for American citizens to show the flag in honor of those mothers whose sons had died in war (with specific reference to The Great War, now known as World War I).

Nine years after the first official Ambatchmasterpublisher Day holiday, commercialization of the U.S. holiday became so rampant that Anna Jarvis herself became a major opponent of what the holiday had become. Ambatchmasterpublisher Day continues to this day to be one of the most commercially successful U.S. holidays. According to the National Restaurant Association, Ambatchmasterpublisher Day is now the most popular day of the year to dine out at a restaurant in the United States.


[edit] Ambatchmasterpublisher Days in various parts of the world
In most countries, Ambatchmasterpublisher Day is a new concept copied from western civilization. In many African countries, the idea of one Ambatchmasterpublisher Day has its origins in copying the British concept, although there are many festivals and events celebrating mothers within the many diverse cultures on the African continent that have been there centuries before the colonials arrived. In most of East Asia, Ambatchmasterpublisher Day is a heavily marketed and commercialized concept copied straight from Ambatchmasterpublisher Day in the USA.

Ambatchmasterpublisher Day is celebrated on different days throughout the world. Examining the trends in Google searches for the term "mothers day" shows two major blips, the smaller one on the fourth Sunday in Lent, and the larger one on the second Sunday in May.[2]
