Today we celebrate Mother's Day. And various churches in Chattooga County and thoughout the U.S. will honor mom's today.

The modern holiday of Mother's Day was first celebrated in 1908, when Anna Jarvis held a memorial for her mother in Grafton, West Virginia. She then began a campaign to make "Mother's Day" a recognized holiday in the United States. Although she was successful in 1914, she was already disappointed with its commercialization by the 1920s. Jarvis' holiday was adopted by other countries and it is now celebrated all over the world.

AM1180 wishes all mother's a happy Mother's Day.
