History of the Mother’s Day SVG

Honouring a woman-mother has a long history.

From the 17th to the 19th century, the so-called Mothering Sunday, the second Sunday of Lent, was celebrated in Great Britain to honour mothers all over the country.

In the United States, Mother’s Day SVG was first publicly supported by the famous American pacifist Julia Ward Howe in 1872. “Mother’s Day, according to Julia Ward, is a day of unity among mothers in the struggle for world peace. Julia Ward’s concept has not found wide support in the U.S. or other countries.

In 1907, the American Anna Jarvis of Philadelphia took the initiative to honor her mothers in memory of her mother. Anna wrote letters to government agencies, legislatures and eminent persons with a proposal to dedicate one day a year to honoring mothers. In 1910, Virginia was the first state to recognize Mother’s Day as an official holiday. In 1914, U.S. President Woodrow Wilson declared the second Sunday of May a national holiday in honor of all American mothers.

Following the U.S., 23 countries (including the United States) declared the second Sunday of May as a holiday: Bahrain, Hong Kong, India, Malaysia, Mexico, Nicaragua, the United Arab Emirates, Oman, Pakistan, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, Australia, Ukraine, Estonia, etc.), and more than thirty more celebrate the holiday on other days.
