Mother's Day in Arab Countries (21/03)

Arab countries in the Middle East (Egypt, Lebanon, Jordan, Syria, Bahrain) celebrate Mother's Day on March 21. It is a day of remembrance for mothers, when tribute is paid to their work and selfless sacrifice for the good of their children.

Mother's Day has long been celebrated in many countries around the world, and the history of the holiday goes back centuries. But a modern holiday in honor of mothers appeared in the United States when Mother's Day was declared by the governor of West Virginia in 1910. By the following year, every American state had its own customs for celebrating this date.

After some time, the list of countries celebrating Mother's Day was replenished with countries: Mexico, Canada, China, Japan, South America and some African countries.

On December 12, 1912, the International Mother's Day Association was created with the aim of spreading a conscious celebration of this day, which is currently celebrated by many countries, but at different times of the year.
