Mother\u2019s Day started by Anne Jarvis is a day historically set aside to honor moms everywhere for all of the things they do for families. When Anne Jarvis first began the tradition, she had her whole church congregation wear white carnations during the service in honor of her mother. Traditionally, mothers are recognized by the church, and they use symbols like the carnation to honor living and dead mothers. Services are dedicated to mothers, and prayers said in their behalf and about them. Because religion was such as central part of the original Mother\u2019s Day, it is a natural part of today\u2019s celebrations and honoring of mothers.<\/p>\n
Mother\u2019s Day prayers can be said and used in a number of ways as part of your celebration. For example, they can be included in a card as a devotion to your mother. They can be recited in a church service, or said to yourself. Often, short Mother\u2019s Day dedications and prayers are offered just before a Mother\u2019s Day brunch of meal. A Mother\u2019s Day prayer is a large part of honoring a mother, even a non-religious family can utilize a Mother\u2019s Day prayer in their celebration of mother.
