In a recent video from the YouTube channel Dead Rabbit Radio, host Jason Carpenter delves into the fascinating and somewhat eerie origins of Mother's Day. While the holiday is widely celebrated as a day to honor and appreciate mothers everywhere, the story behind its creation is quite intriguing. The video begins by discussing the birth of Anna Jarvis in West Virginia in 1848, who would later become the founder of Mother's Day. As Jason explains, Anna had a very close relationship with her mother and felt strongly that there should be a day to honor and celebrate mothers. After her mother's passing, Anna began a campaign to establish a national holiday in her memory. Mother's Day was officially declared a national holiday by President Woodrow Wilson in 1914, to be celebrated on the second Sunday in May. However, as Jason explains, the holiday quickly became commercialized by the greeting card, floral, and candy industries. Anna Jarvis, who had originally envisioned the holiday as a way to honor and appreciate mothers, became disillusioned by its commercialization and began protesting against it. Sadly, Anna Jarvis's efforts to reclaim the holiday she created were met with resistance, and she was eventually arrested for public disturbances. The video ends on a somber note, as Jason explains that Anna Jarvis died in an insane asylum just three years after being committed. While the video doesn't directly involve Bigfoot or Sasquatch, it's still a fascinating glimpse into the origins of a widely celebrated holiday. I found the video to be both informative and thought-provoking. I would encourage anyone interested in learning more about the history of Mother's Day to check out the video for themselves.
