Like at all major league stadiums Sunday, on-field personnel for the Dodgers-Atlanta Braves game will wear the special breast cancer awareness pink ribbon decals on jerseys and may wear pink socks, wristbands and batting gloves. Major League players may use pink, customized bats. Commemorative base jewels and lineup cards featuring the special Mother's Day/breast cancer awareness logo also will be used.
Mothers will receive a special blessing and a flower at all Sunday Masses at the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels. A brief history of Mother's Day Mother's Day was initially proposed in 1870 by activist-poet Julia Ward Howe as a call for peace and disarmament. It was celebrated in 18 cities in 1873, continued for another 10 years or so in Boston under Howe's backing, then died out.
The second attempt to establish Mother's Day began on May 9, 1907, the second anniversary of the death of Anna Jarvis' mother Ann. Jarvis invited several friends to her home in Philadelphia in commemoration of her mother's life, which included providing nursing care and promoting better sanitation during the Civil War, helping save lives on both sides.
Jarvis announced to her friends her idea of a day of national celebration in honor of mothers, which was first celebrated on May 10, 1908, at the Andrews Methodist Episcopal Church in Grafton, West Virginia, where Ann Jarvis worshipped. West Virginia Gov. William E. Glasscock issued the first Mother's Day proclamation in 1910. By 1911, it was celebrated in nearly every state.
President Woodrow Wilson signed a congressional joint resolution in 1914 designating the second Sunday in May as Mother's Day nationally.
