the international mother's day shrine

This isn't really worth going to see. I would instead recommend the Anna Jarvis birthplace museum if you are interested in the history of Mothers day

Yes, West Virgina does have a prized Shrine in the Middle of Grafton.Please allow 30 minutes to visit this shrine to Motherhood.Anna, may God bless you!

This is where Mothers Day was first celebrated in 1908 and in 1914 Mother's Day became a recognized holiday in the United States.By 1920s. the holiday was adopted by other countries and it is now celebrated all over the world. I enjoyed looking around the shrine well worth the stop if you love mom !
