In 1908, St. Andrew’s Methodist Church in Grafton, West Virginia held a Sunday service honoring mothers. In 1914, President Woodrow Wilson signed a resolution establishing Mother’s Day. During the 1600s, people in England celebrated a day called “Mothering Sunday.” On that day servants were released from work to spend the day with their mothers. One day each spring in ancient Greece, people held celebrations in honor of Rhea, whom they called the Mother of the Gods. In 1912, West Virginia became the first state to adopt an official Mother’s Day.
