Each year, Mother’s Day is celebrated on the second Sunday of May. Here are numbers associated with the annual holiday celebrated across America.
Seven years after commemorative church services spread throughout America for mothers, President Woodrow Wilson officially proclaimed the second Sunday in May as Mother's Day.
Wilson described Mother’s Day "as a public expression of love and reverence for the mothers of our country," according to a copy of his proclamation, which is viewable on the National Archives website. The U.S. Census reported there were 43.5 million mothers between the ages of 15 and 50 in 2014. White carnations were originally the symbolic flower of Mother's Day, but now people give flowers of all types to mom, reports 1-800-Flowers.In 2019, there were approximately 73 million children in the U.S., according to data from the Children’s Defense Fund.
