现在，全世界共有46个国家以各种形式庆祝母亲节，有的国家并不是在5月的第二个星期天庆祝。
In the United States, the history of the celebration goes back all the way to the 1900s. It is Anna Jarvis who has been a major figure in getting the holiday recognized throughout the country, and she did it in honor of her mother, Ann Reeves Jarvis. Anna Jarvis began a campaign to have a holiday in recognition of mother's everywhere after her mother's death in 1905, as a way to honor the sacrifices mothers make for their kids, according to the International Business Times.
在美国，母亲节的历史可以追溯到20世纪。据《国际财经时报》报道，安娜·贾维斯是在全国范围内推动母亲节的重要人物。1905年，为了纪念去世的母亲安·里维斯·贾维斯，安娜·贾维斯开始在各地发起了纪念母亲的活动，以表彰母亲对孩子们所做的牺牲。
The first Mother's Day in the U.S. was organized by Jarvis in May 1908 at a church in West Virginia. Afterward, she launched an extensive campaign to have a day for mothers marked out in calendars everywhere in the country. Her efforts include sending letters to newspapers and political offices to advocate for the holiday, and they paid off when President Woodrow Wilson signed an order to establish the second Sunday of May as Mother's Day.
1908年5月，贾维斯在美国西弗吉尼亚的教堂组织了第一个母亲节。之后，她发起更加广泛的运动，希望能在全国各地有一个固定的日子纪念母亲。她曾给报刊和政府办公室写信倡议这一节日。最终，时任总统伍德罗·威尔逊宣布将五月的第二个星期天作为母亲节。
