The idea of a day for mothers was first given by Miss Anna Jarvis of Philadelphia(費(fèi)城)．As a result of(由于) her hard work,the celebration of the first American Mother's Day was held(舉行) in Philadelphia on May 10,1908．Soon the holiday become popular throughout the country and around the world．
In China,people do the same on this special(特別的) day for mothers．And in some cities,people sometimes ask a song to be broadcasted(廣播) for his or her mother only．
