Mother's Day in Poland

Yes, May 26 is Mother's Day in Poland - yes really Mother's Day is celebrated on that day only in Poland. Because:

Norway - the second Sunday of February, Great Britain - the fourth Sunday of Lent, in Egypt on March 21, in Spain and Portugal on the first Sunday of May. In South Korea, May 8, it's also Parents' Day.

However, most countries celebrate Mother's Day on the second Sunday of May, so for example the United States (from there I have many friends. Regards!) Had Mother's Day on May 11.

etc.

BUT

No matter in which day celebrating Mother's Day in your country - you should give her something from the heart or just love! And of course, respect. Of course, not only on this day, and preferably all year round. It doesn't matter if you are 5 years old, 18 years old, 30 years old, maybe 50... Don't be ashamed of your own mother!

History and celebration of Mother's Day in Poland

Mother's Day was celebrated in pre-war Poland (it seems that no annual date was set, e.g. Sunday, May 13, 1934; Sunday, May 7, 1939) with the organization of the Polish Red Cross.

Mother's Day (Muttertag) was celebrated as an important holiday in the General Government during the German occupation (this day was a holiday throughout the Third Reich).

Currently in Poland this holiday falls on May 26. On this day, mothers are usually given gifts, flowers and various types of gifts by their own children, less often other people. This holiday aims to show mothers respect, love and thanks for the effort put in upbringing.
