For hundreds of years，the British people have remembered their mothers on Mothering Sunday．In the old days，workers had time off from work to visit their mothers．
Today，most people in Britain call Mothering Sunday“Mother's Day．”Children send cards to their mothers on that day．They give their mothers flowers or sweets as presents．Fathers and children do all the cooking and housework to give mothers a rest．They do their best to show their love for them．
In the USA，mothers are remembered on Mother's Day，too．Mother's Day started quite differently from the way it started in Britain．
In the 1860s，there was a terrible war in the United States between the North and the South．There was a small town in the middle of the USA called Pruntytown．In this town,half of the people fought on the northern side and another half fought on the southern side．At the end of the war，the people hated each other．
Mrs Ann Reeves Jarvis wanted the people to make friends with each other again，so she started“Mother's Friendship Day.”On that day，she visited all the other mothers in her town and said。“God bless you．Let's be friends with each other again．”
Her idea succeeded．The same thing happened in other parts of the country．Soon，all the women in the United States followed her example．After Mrs Jarvis died．her daughter carried on the same idea，but she called“Mother's Friendship Day”as“Mother's Day”．The first Mother's Day was in 1908．In 1914，Mother's Day，the second Sunday in May，became a public holiday．On that day，every public building in the USA flies the American national flag．
