Origins Of Mother's Day And Why Carnations

In 1908, activist Anna Jarvis spearheaded the first Mother's Day celebration in West Virginia, dedicated to honoring the selfless sacrifices of mothers. During that celebration she gave out 500 white carnations - her late mother's favorite flower. Her efforts did not stop here, she tirelessly campaigned to establish Mother's Day as a nationally recognized holiday. In 1914, President Woodrow Wilson officially designated Mother's Day as a national holiday, cementing its place in American tradition. This holiday eventually spread across the globe. Along with it, the carnation also became the classic representative flower of Mother's Day that we are all familiar with today.
