th
May 12 is Mothers’ Day, and what a great opportunity to celebrate
Mothers. Here are some Mothers’ Day facts you may not have known.
In most countries Mother's Day is celebrated on the second
Sunday in May, among them the Canada, the US, most European
countries, Australia, New Zealand, India, China, Japan, the Philippines
and South Africa.
One notable exception to this rule are the UK and Ireland, which
celebrate Mother's Day on the fourth Sunday in Lent. Most Arab
countries celebrate Mother's Day on March 21st (vernal equinox).
Most East European countries celebrate Mother's Day on March 8th.
In most countries, Mother's Day is a recent observance derived
from the holiday as it has evolved in America. When it was adopted by
other countries and cultures, it was given different meanings,
associated to different events (religious, historical or legendary), and
celebrated on a different date or dates.
Some countries already had existing celebrations honoring
motherhood, and their celebrations have adopted several external
characteristics from the US holiday, like giving carnations and other
presents to your own mother.
