			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/flowers_vintage1.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-205" title="flowers_vintage1" src="/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/flowers_vintage1.jpg" alt="" width="151" height="180" /></a>You might not be able to tell now, but Mother’s Day did not begin with greeting cards and chocolate boxes: it began with a cry for peace. It was 1872, and Julia Ward Howe — wife, mother, poet, early abolitionist and suffragette — found herself appalled at the state of the world. The Civil War had left countless families mourning in the U.S., and the Franco-Prussian War had just claimed thousands of lives in Europe. She believed war was unnecessary, savage, and contradicted all that mothers stood for; she believed it was ruining lives: of those killed and maimed, of those mourning, and of those who had to fight.</p>
<p>Julia Ward Howe proposed that one day a year, we step back and act on behalf of the values represented by motherhood: values that “make for peace.”</p>
<h4>She called it Mother’s Peace Day.</h4>
