Mother’s Day around the world

Here are some examples of how Mother's Day is celebrated in different countries:

 United States: It is celebrated on the 2nd Sunday of May. It is a day for children and
adults to express their love and gratitude to their mothers with gifts, cards, and special
outings. Many families also prepare a meal or treat for their mothers.
 United Kingdom: It is celebrated on the 4th Sunday of March or early April.
Traditionally, it was a day when people returned to their "mother" church and spent
time with their families. Nowadays, it is more like the American Mother's Day, with
children giving cards and gifts to their mothers.
 Mexico: In Mexico, Mother's Day (Día de las Madres) is celebrated on May 10th. It is a
day for honoring mothers with flowers, gifts, and special meals. Schools often organize
events where children present performances and gifts to their mothers.
 France: It is celebrated on the last Sunday in May or the first Sunday in June. It is a day
for children to give their mothers flowers, cards, and gifts. Many families gather for a
special meal to honor their mothers.
 Thailand: It is celebrated on August 12th, which is the birthday of Queen Sirikit, who is
considered the mother of the nation. Thai people often wear blue clothing (the
Queen's color) and give jasmine flowers as a symbol of maternal love and respect.
 Ethiopia: In Ethiopia, Mother's Day is known as "Antrosht." It is celebrated with a
special meal, typically consisting of injera (a sourdough flatbread) and various stews.
Children often bring ingredients for the meal to their mothers.

These are just a few examples of how Mother's Day is celebrated in different countries. While
the dates and customs may vary, the underlying sentiment of appreciating and honoring
mothers is universal.
