Mother's Day in different countries. When is Mother's Day in Russia: what date is it celebrated, congratulations What date is Mother's Day

The life of any baby begins with a mother’s smile and tears of joy. Mom's touch, her voice with which she sang lullabies, the unique smell, strong and tender hugs - these are the most valuable memories of any son or daughter. Every child simply adores the woman who gave him this world, and therefore there is no need to skimp on warm words and congratulations on Mother’s Day. Mother's Day is a holiday for pregnant women and women who have already given birth, that is, those who have already experienced and survived the pangs of birth for the sake of their child and those who are yet to do so.

When is it celebrated?

Every country in the world celebrates Mother's Day differently. Mother's Day in Russia acquired the official status of a public holiday quite recently, but has already become a favorite among all Russians, since it cannot leave anyone indifferent. On January 30, 1998, the then President of the Russian Federation issued Decree No. 120 “On Mother’s Day,” in which he tied the date of celebration to the last Sunday of November. Accordingly, Mother's Day 2014 will be celebrated on November 30th. Thus, our state has recognized the invaluable role of the mother in the life of every person.

Who's celebrating

Every pregnant woman and one who has already given birth in Russia is a heroine who has gone through all the difficulties and obstacles to become a mother. There is nothing more difficult and important in life than giving birth to a new life, which will ultimately become the most important and valuable life in this universe for a woman. Mother's Day in Russia is a holiday of eternity, which touches the thinnest strings in the soul, those threads or ropes that connect everyone with the most important person - mom, mommy, mommy. On this day, every son or daughter is simply obliged to surround their mothers with care and attention and try to return to them at least a small part of the love invested in them.

A little about the profession of “mother”

Officially, in our country there is no such profession as mother, because it cannot be learned at school or university. When you hold your baby in your arms for the first time in the maternity hospital, life changes into “before” and “after”. A colossal responsibility for another life is placed on a woman’s shoulders, and her best qualities are revealed: kindness, care, love, dedication, boundless and simply angelic patience.

Mom is a calling, it is strength of spirit, wisdom, restraint. Mom is like the President, only on a family scale, she is the commander in chief, responsible for food, security, education and development, cleanliness and order in the house and for many other issues that are invisible at first glance. It’s not easy for all mothers and they need family support.

Traditionally, concerts, promotions and other events are held on Mother's Day. I would especially like to highlight the All-Russian Social Action “Mom, I love you!” As part of the campaign, throughout the holiday week, activists distribute promotional cards depicting a bear cub holding a forget-me-not in his hand.

Forget-me-not is a flower from legends, which, according to folk wisdom, has magical powers and helps people remember forgotten loved ones, relatives and friends.

Mom is the closest and dearest person. She plays a vital role in a child's life. The main one is birth itself. Knowing about the upcoming torment, women decide to take this step consciously. To honor mothers, a holiday was established dedicated to all women who have a child and those who are just carrying a baby. In the Russian Federation, it is officially celebrated every last Sunday in November.

history of the holiday

The history of Russian Mother's Day is short. The holiday was established in 1998 on January 30. Boris Yeltsin’s decree number 120 served as a help. The initiator of the introduction of this date into the calendar of significant events of the Russian Federation was A. Aparina, a State Duma deputy. She was an activist and was part of a service dealing with issues of women, family and representatives of the younger generation.

In the Russian Federation, the first holiday dedicated to mothers was organized by a teacher teaching Russian language and literature. Baku resident E. Huseynova, who works at local school No. 288, organized an event for students and parents. The events of October 30, 1988 went down in history. They were covered by the media and received public approval and support. Later, such events, which did not yet have official status, became traditional for many educational institutions.

There is a very important day in the Russian calendar for all people on the planet. It does not apply to public or religious holidays. Nevertheless, thanks to him, you can express your feelings to the person who gave life. Mother's Day 2018 will once again show how much we love our mothers.

WHAT DAY IS MOTHER'S DAY IN RUSSIA IN 2018

Every resident of Russia can easily name the date of International Women's Day, but few people know about Russian Mother's Day. Therefore, every year, thousands of people wonder when to congratulate their mother on this unusual holiday. In 2018, Mother's Day will be celebrated on November 25th.

WHEN IS MOTHER'S DAY CELEBRATED IN OTHER COUNTRIES IN 2018:

In countries bordering Russia, as well as those remote from it, mothers are also honored and Mother's Day is celebrated annually. For some of these countries, Mother's Day 2018 dates will be as follows.

* In Syria - March 21, 2018. (Other Far Eastern countries, such as Lebanon and Egypt, celebrate Mother’s Day 2018 on the same date).

* In the USA, Japan, Turkey, Germany, Estonia, Finland, Latvia - May 13, 2018 (second Sunday in May).

WHEN WAS MOTHER'S DAY FOUNDED IN RUSSIA

The age of this holiday is very small. It was celebrated for the first time in 1998. Although, the idea of ​​the holiday arose ten years earlier.

The initiative was taken by Elmira Huseynova, a teacher from Baku. With the support of colleagues and school administration, the holiday was held in one of the schools in Baku. After the teacher shared her impressions in the periodical press, this day began to be celebrated in all schools of Soviet Azerbaijan.

Soon, news from the southern republic quickly spread throughout the education industry, and a few years later similar events were held in many schools of the former Union.

Each educational institution held the celebration differently. Teachers helped the children in every possible way to prepare speeches and congratulations to their mothers. Children read poems and sang songs with warm words for their mothers. The students were looking forward to this day with great impatience. During labor lessons, each student had to offer his own version of a gift for his mother and make it by the appointed date. Each school held this holiday at different times. However, it existed in the curriculum of almost all schools. Thus, the younger generation developed a respectful attitude towards mothers.

With the collapse of the Union, this holiday did not die. It has acquired wider proportions. Currently, the holiday is celebrated at the state level. The beginning was made in 1998, when State Duma deputies voted to establish Mothers' Day. In the same year, the President of the Russian Federation signed a corresponding decree.

The 2000s were remembered for the start of the all-Russian campaign “Mom, I love you.” At first it covered only the central regions of the country. Now the campaign is known in the most remote areas of the Russian Federation. Every year this event is held with a new theme. It is dedicated to the most pressing issues of motherhood. The promotion has its own symbol – a blue forget-me-not. This flower has always been associated with tenderness and love. As part of the campaign, everyone is given colorful postcards that they can give to their mother.

HOLIDAY TRADITIONS

The symbols of the holiday are a teddy bear and a forget-me-not flower.

Mother's Day is not widely celebrated in Russia. On this holiday, children congratulate their mothers and give them handmade gifts: drawings, appliqués, crafts. Social events are held, the most popular of which is “Mom, I love you.” Leaflets and greeting cards are distributed near metro stations, public transport stops and shopping centers. Public organizations hold public lectures on the topic of motherhood. The main goal of social activity is a caring and careful attitude towards the mother, the dissemination of family values ​​and traditions.

Radio and television broadcast programs about family and relationships. Top officials of the state congratulate mothers. In their speeches they emphasize the role of women in procreation and human development.

MOTHER'S DAY IS TODAY

Since the mid-2000s, Mother's Day in our country has traditionally been celebrated with the “Mom, I love you” campaign. Every year the scale of the action only increases - first covering the capital and several of the largest cities, today I express my gratitude to mothers in almost every locality of the country.

What is the promotion? Every year, the organizers announce a special theme for the event, devoting it to one or another problem of motherhood. But year after year, the distribution of postcards remains unchanged, which anyone can give to their mother. The symbol of the action is the blue forget-me-not, a flower that has long symbolized tenderness, care, and love.

MOTHER'S DAY IS AN INTERNATIONAL HOLIDAY

It is worth saying that in November Mother's Day is celebrated only in Russia. In most countries, the celebration occurs in May, more often on the second Sunday in May. Topping the list of countries that celebrate Mother's Day in late spring is the United States, where it is celebrated at the federal level.

In the USA, the holiday appeared almost a century earlier than in Russia. America first celebrated Mother's Day in 1907, reborn from Mothering Sunday, a holiday adopted in Great Britain.

And today, mom,

Mother's Day in Russia is celebrated on the last Sunday of November. In 2019, the holiday falls on November 24 and is celebrated at the official level for the 22nd time. It is celebrated by mothers and pregnant women.

Mothers play an important role in the continuation of the human race. They not only bear the child, but also engage in its upbringing and development of its character and personality. The holiday is dedicated to all women who have children, as well as pregnant women in Russia.

Holiday symbol

The symbol of the holiday is a teddy bear and a forget-me-not. This flower was not chosen by chance. According to popular beliefs, it has the magical power to restore memory to people who have forgotten about their loved ones. In many mythologies it symbolizes memory and devotion.

Holiday traditions

Mother's Day is not widely celebrated in Russia. On this holiday, children congratulate their mothers and give them handmade gifts: drawings, appliqués, crafts. Social events are held, the most popular of which is “Mom, I love you.” Leaflets and greeting cards are distributed near metro stations, public transport stops and shopping centers.

In many regions, this holiday is celebrated with the presentation of medals, orders, certificates, and cash prizes to mothers for the worthy upbringing of children.

history of the holiday

Mother's Day in Russia was formalized at the official level by Decree of Russian President B. Yeltsin dated January 30, 1998 No. 120. The initiative to establish the holiday was put forward by Deputy of the State Duma of the Russian Federation A. Aparina. She was a member of the Committee on Women, Family and Youth Affairs. The purpose of the holiday was to strengthen family foundations and emphasize the importance of the role of the mother in a person’s life.

The first holiday was held on October 30, 1988 at school No. 228 in Baku. Its author was the teacher of Russian language and literature E. Guseinova. The event received widespread coverage in newspapers and magazines, meeting with universal support and approval. The press published scenarios justifying the need to honor mothers. Secondary educational institutions supported the Baku tradition. A few years later it grew into a nationwide one.

What to give for Mother's Day

Cosmetics. Favorite perfume, skin care set or bath products are a pleasant and useful gift for a woman. If it is difficult to make a choice, you can present a gift certificate to a store in which she can choose a gift for herself.

Kitchen gadgets. Mothers love to delight their children and family members with delicious surprises. For those who like to spend time cooking, you can give them a kitchen gadget - a mixer, blender, multicooker, toaster, steamer, juicer.

Family photo album. Collect children's pictures, print photos from electronic media that you always don't get your hands on. Take funny selfies the day before or arrange a family photo session. Such a gift will become a memorable thing for mom, which she will be happy to take in her hands.

Indoor plant. Unlike a bouquet of cut flowers, a houseplant in a pot will delight mom’s eyes for a long time. A blooming orchid, violet or azalea will create a festive mood and bring comfort to your home.

Have an interesting day

Task for today: Call your mom. Tell her a few tender and touching words. Such a sign of attention will not leave her indifferent.
