「母の日」のはじまりについて書いた文章をみつけたので書いてみます
Jarvis decided to start a campaing for a national Mother's Day
because she wanted people to show their respect for their mothers on this day.
She wrote thousands of letters to politicians and other important people.
Finally , in 1914 , President Woodrow Wilson announced that
Mother's Day would be a national holiday. Because of Jarvis's example ,
it became a tradition in the United States to give carnations on Mother's Day.
このジャーヴィスさんは、彼女を一人で育ててくれたお母さんが亡くなったときに
母への感謝の気持ちが足りなかったことを後悔して、礼拝で、お母さんのすきだった
カーネーションを捧げたそうです。
そして、その後、上の文章にあるような活動の末、「母の日」ができたんですって
