| 0:00.0 | Hello again, friend. |
| 0:10.0 | Welcome back to part two of my chilling Mother's Day collaboration special. |
| 0:15.8 | Before we embark on our journey again, I want to take a moment to reflect on the origins of this holiday. |
| 0:24.2 | To truly understand the history of Mother's Day, we must go back thousands of years to |
| 0:29.9 | the ancient world. |
| 0:32.3 | The earliest known celebrations of mothers and motherhood can be traced back to the annual spring festival |
| 0:38.8 | in ancient Greece, honoring Rhea, the mother of gods. But it wasn't just the Greeks, |
| 0:47.5 | the Romans also had a festival called matronalia, where husbands and children would shower their wives and mothers with gifts |
| 0:55.8 | and flowers. This tradition carried on for centuries, in various forms, eventually influencing |

| 1:45.7 | Anna Jarvis was the daughter of Anne Reeves Jarvis, a social activist and community organizer, |
| 1:53.2 | who worked hard to improve the lives of women and families. |
| 1:58.2 | After her mother's death, in 1905, Anna sought to create a day that would honor the |
| 2:04.8 | sacrifices mothers made for their children. In 1908, Anna held the first Mother's Day celebration |
| 2:12.7 | at a Methodist Church in Grafton, West Virginia. |
| 2:23.3 | By 1912, she had successfully established the Mother's Day International Association and began campaigning to have Mother's Day recognized as an official holiday. |
