Craft: Happy Mother's Day - 3D card

The first suggestion for a day set aside to honour Mothers was made by Julia Ward Howe. Jarvis' own Mother was honoured on the first service at Andrews Methodist Episcopal Church in Grafton,West Virginia, on May 10, 1908. Later, at the general assembly in 1912, a delegate from Andrews Church introduced a resolution recognizing Jarvis as the founder of Mother's Day, and suggested that Mother's Day be observed on the second Sunday in May. She also began the custom of wearing the carnation. Dark red represents deep love and affection, and pink carnations carry the greatest significance, beginning with the belief that they first appeared on earth from the Virgin Mary’s tears – making them the symbol of a mother’s undying love.
