Mother's Day This holiday is an eternity holiday: from generation to generation for every person Mama is the most important person in life.

New holiday - Mother's Day - gradually carries out in Russia. Founded by the President Russian Federation January 30, 1998, he is celebrated on the last Sunday of November. And although this holiday is celebrated only the eighth year, but at all times the mother was and remains the most important and close person for each of us.

The official explanation of this holiday is such. Mother's Day meets the best traditions of the relations between Russians to motherhood, unites all the sections of Russian society on the ideas of good and reverence of a female mother. In addition, as many consider, it is necessary to increase the status of a female mother. Mother's Day is a relatively young holiday. He has not yet established traditions, in the family circle there are few people notes. But, we hope that over time the meaning of this day will increase, because in meaning and content is the most holy holiday.

In many countries of the world, Mother's Day is celebrated. For example, USA, Malta, Denmark, Finland, Germany, Italy, Turkey, Australia, Japan, Belgium, Ukraine, Estonia celebrate him on the second Sunday of May, Greece - May 9, and Belarus - October 14.

Mother's Day in China. Mother's Day is a holiday, annually celebrated in China on the second Sunday of May. This is the day of memory about mothers when due to their work and a disinterested victim for the benefit of their children. On the mother's day, the Chinese congratulate their mothers, present flowers and gifts. In some cities, adult children are arranged for matinee mothers with productions, cover a table with abundant treats for all those present.

Mothers have always distinguished the generosity of the soul, devotion, self-sacrifice, love and great patience. And today they carefully keep family hearth, teach children to good, mutual understanding, morality.

Becoming a mother, woman opens in himself top Qualities: kindness, love and care.

Among the numerous holidays celebrated in our country, the mother's day occupies a special place. This is a holiday to which no one can stay indifferent. On this day, I would like to say the words of gratitude to all mothers who give the children love, good, tenderness and affection.

A spoon snowing snowing, the night goes big, what are you, stupid, do not sleep? Sleep your neighbors white bears, sleep soon and you, kid.

We sail on the ice, as on Brigantine, in gray, harsh seas. And all night neighbors, star bears shine long ships.

No matter how good, good words, I have been told by moms, no matter how reasons for it, they will not be superfluous: "Thank you! .. And let each of you more often say warm words your favorite children! Let the smile and joyful sparkles shine on their faces sparkle in their eyes when you are together! "

Mother's Day in Canada

"That Best Academy, a Mother" S Knee ". (James Russell Lowell).

"There is no better academy than the knees of the mother." Those two more century ago, the American poet, critic, publicist and professor at Harvard University James Russell Lowell. It seems that nothing has changed since then in this matter, and in the whole world in all the centuries, grateful sons and daughters will agree with Him.

Mother's Day (Mother "s Day Holiday) in Canada - this is not just moved to a warmer and gentle month May version" March 8 "- International Women's Day. The emergence of this holiday - the result of the tireless efforts of American Miss Anna Jarvis from Philadelphia, who wanted to express Recognition of not only your mother who raised 11 children, but also to all mothers at all. She was able to convince Wilson's president in the need for an official celebration, and in 1914 the second Sunday may have been appointed in America my mother's day. To the idea of \u200b\u200bofficially organized reward on this day honors and thanks to mothers joined Canadians.

On this day, as we have on March 8, give moms gifts, make them all sorts pleasant surprises And they even exempt from the obligation to wash the dishes (and wash in a dishwasher, for example). Usually all family members get up on this day to a splash, but the mother's morning dream protects especially carefully. And while Mom is sleeping, they are preparing for her all together the most beloved her kushans, and when she wakes up, serve her breakfast right to bed. They behave with her all day as the queen, in every way imprinted and entertaining it. The only thing that is allowed to do on this day is to open the front door when I heard the call of the calling, which delivered a gift or a luxurious festive bouquet in advance.

Shops on the eve of the mother's holiday, naturally, "in full combat readiness." Specially for this day there are many products "for mothers", with congratulatory inscriptions on beautiful labels. Voaging you have to take care of the order of the table in the restaurant, if you are going to invite mom on a festive lunch or dinner on this day. And tickets for excursions and entertainment trips that are becoming an increasingly popular gift for Mother's Day in Canada, take another week before it is offensive. It is noteworthy that the organizers of the festive tours of the Mama Day on a special excursion train of Prairie Dog Central Railway by running among the landscapes of Canadian Prairie, except for excellent leisure conditions, provide personal gifts for all moms traveling on it.

Tekhchi and mother-in-law also do not remain on this day without attention. The study held recently by order of Hallmark Canada and Catelaine magazine was attended by more than 600 Canadians aged 18 to 60 years. At the same time, 90% of respondents stated that in reality they love mothers of their wives and husbands, and 9% of Canadians consider relationships with mother-in-law and mother-in-laws even more close than with their own mothers.

Hallmark, a leading manufacturer of cards, constantly increases sales of its products for mother-in-law and the mother-in-law, which is intended for inscription: "Those who like mom".

Mother's Day in China

Mother's Day is a holiday, annually celebrated in China on the second Sunday of May.

This is the day of memory about mothers when due to their work and a disinterested victim for the benefit of their children. On the mother's day, the Chinese congratulate their mothers, present flowers and gifts.

Mother's Day in Japan

"Mom, you knit me mittens.
Knitted without tired long cold evenings.
Will fly to me news from native edges,
And in it - the smell of a homely hearth ... "

The lines of this old and kind "mother's song" (1958) know all the Japanese. On the second Sunday of May, she, of course, will sound in many houses, recalling the big maternal love And care.

The day of the mother in Japan will be recognized in 1915 thanks to the foreigner, Professor of the University of Aoyama Gakuin. Group of believers-Christians contribute to the spread of the holiday across the country, conducting festive services in churches and reading in sunday schools. But conservative society is not yet ready to take an innovation. Society, for a long time, the preliminary position of the woman does not consider the daily labor of the mother for the benefit of the family, for children with something special, worthy of gratitude and festive day.

Time is coming, and pre-war Japan 30s rapidly enhances the militarist orientation, growing a new ideology. An integral component of a new ideology is the symbol of the emperor-God and the greatness of the imperial family. Since 1931, Mother's Day is set on March 6, exactly on the birthday of the wife of the Healthy Emperor, emphasizing its historical importance as the "Mother of Japanese People".

Having survived the loss in World War II and the defeat of the emperor Hirohito, post-war Japan becomes the object of the introduction of American culture, and, as a result, since 1947, the Mother's Day has been postponed for the second Sunday of May. Congresses of women are held in the country, mothers are invited to schools, the famous work.

For a long time in the country there was a tradition on the mother's day to pin on the chest of the carnation - a symbol of the love of mother to the child. Red cloves decorated with clothes children whose mothers are alive, and white are children who have lost mothers.

IN last years The celebration of the Mother's Day in Japan is becoming more commercial shades, often replacing the concept of "expressing a sense of gratitude" by the banal action "to give a gift." On Sunday, it becomes lively, all sorts of sales, lotteries are arranged, discounts on the running goods are provided. On the eve of this day, the counters of department stores are abundantly filled with traditional "goods for mothers." Blouses, Aprons, Wallets, Handbags, Kitchenware, jewelry, sweets - and this, of course, only part of the materialized feelings, from which the Japanese choose a gift, always applying a red carnation to him.

But whatever stereotypes representing the Japanese society and the situation in it will not exist in the world, the Japanese are very much appreciated and love their mothers. Every Japanese knows that the "Japanese family center" is a woman-mother. " Men are incredibly comfortable and encouragingly calmly from such a consciousness.

In Thuringia (one of the 16 federal lands of Germany) in the Middle Ages was Sunday (necessarily in spring, because spring is the beginning of life, and the mother gives this life), in which relatives visited and wanted wealth and prosperity. Separately and with big honors blessed the mother on this day.

The tradition of the annual and nationwide holiday of the mother's Day came to Germany from the United States at the beginning of the 20th century. It was then that the custom is strengthened to celebrate him in May.

For the first time the day of the mother in Germany was noted in 1923, as national holiday It has been celebrated since 1933.

Mothers give flowers on this day, small souvenirs, pleasant little things, unexpected surprises and hot kisses. Although the main gift is attention. Adult children visit the house of parents and thus tell them: "We have not forgotten you and we will be grateful for everything."
