On
the West Virginia Homefront
By:
Lee Fisher
The origins of Mother’s Day originated
in ancient Greece where a number of
‘mother’ goddesses were worshipped.
In the English speaking world, England
celebrated a special day that was
known as Mothering Day in the 1600’s.
This day evolved into a day of taking
small gifts and baked goods to English
mothers wherever they might be in
the British Isles.
West Virginia holds the honor for
having the first United States Mother’s
Day observance on May 10, 1908 when
Anna Jarvis of Grafton, West Virginia
ask that an observance be held in
her mother’s honor at a local church.
