On May 10, 1913, the United States Senate and House of Representatives passed a resolution, signed by President Wilson proclamation, deciding that the second Sunday of May each year is Mother's Day.
母亲节起源于美国,1906年5月9日,美国费城的安娜·贾薇丝轮蚂数的母亲不幸去世,她悲痛万分。在次年安娜小姐组织了追思母亲的活动,并鼓励他人也以类似方式来表达对各自慈母的感激之情。1913年5月10日,美国参众两院通过决议案,由威尔逊总统签署公告,决定每年5月的第二个星期日为母亲节。
The earliest festival in China was in Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan. Over time, "Mother's Day" became a national holiday to thank mothers. People use carnations to symbolize the flower of motherly love and place their feelings of missing and filial piety on carnations, which have become indispensable gifts for mothers.
