Mother’s Day in Memphis
Mother’s Day is Sunday, May 14th so it’s time to celebrate all those amazing Moms out there that do everything for us. The American beginnings of Mother’s Day happened in 1908 thanks to Anna Jarvis and then it became an official U.S. holiday in 1914. However, the tradition of honoring mothers goes all the way back to the Greek and Romans who would hold festivals to celebrate mother goddesses while early Christians held a festival called Mothering Sunday, which is still followed today in Europe and occurs earlier than the American holiday. Typically, Mother’s Day always falls on the second Sunday of May and provides a great excuse to pamper Mom with special activities and gifts. It’s that time to keep up this long-held tradition with some special gifts from our Memphis flower shop.
