Many countries of the world express their
own cultural style of expressions of appreciation in official and unofficial Mother’s Day
celebrations. Some countries such as Denmark, Finland, Italy, Turkey, Australia, and
Belgium also celebrate Mother’s Day on the
second Sunday of May, and in some countries, the appreciation celebration lasts for
two days.
Mother’s Day is one of the three biggest
holidays of the year, as it should be. It is
always interesting and well worth the time
to take a peek into the past at the roots of a
particular holiday that is special to us. Expanding one’s understanding of the micro
history and tradition of Mother’s Day, in this
case, can energize and give the celebration
a more personal meaning at a time where
our lives are jam packed, it seems, with activities of lesser importance.
