Before Reading v v Global Reading Detailed Reading Mother’s Day After Reading Mother’s Day is celebrated every year in honor of motherhood. On the second Sunday in May, many families and churches make a special point of honoring mothers. Many people follow the custom of wearing a carnation on Mother’s Day. A colored carnation means that a person’s mother is living. A white carnation indicates that a person’s mother is dead. A day for honoring mothers was observed many years ago in England. It was called Mothering Sunday, and came in mid Lent. People in other nations have observed similar days. Julia Ward Howe (1819 -1910), an American writer, lecturer, and reformer, introduced the idea of Mother’s Day. She made the first known suggestion for a Mother’s Day in the United States in 1872. She suggested that people observe a Mother’s Day on June 2 as a day dedicated to

On that day, President Woodrow Wilson signed a joint resolution of Congress recommending that Congress and the executive departments of the federal government observe Mother’s Day. The next year, President Wilson was authorized to proclaim Mother’s Day an annual national observance. (From the 1998 World Book Multimedia Encyclopedia)

In the United States and Canada, Father’s Day falls on the third Sunday in June. Sonora Louise Smart Dodd of Spokane, Wash. , got the idea to set aside a special day to honor fathers in 1909, after listening to a sermon on Mother’s Day. She wanted to honor her father, William Jackson Smart’s wife died in 1898, and he raised their six children on his own. Dodd drew up a petition recommending adoption of a national father’s day.

Through Sonora Dodd’s efforts, Spokane celebrated the first Father’s Day on June 19, 1910. Over the years, many resolutions to make the day an official national holiday were introduced. Finally, in 1972, President Richard M. Nixon signed Father’s Day into law. v (From the 1998 World Book Multimedia Encyclopedia) v
