Curiousity ! When is Mother´s Day in your country of residence ?


Mother´s Day in Spain is on May 1st, and is a bank holiday ..

Father´s Day is March 19th, Saint Joseph´s Day and is also a legal bank holiday and the Day of The Valencian Fallas ( Fires ) ..

Have a lovely day .. :wave :wave

The UK Mothers Day varies slightly year by year, because it's linked to Easter over here. This year it was the 11th March, and it normally happens in March. I think it's always pretty early compared to some other countries.

Fathers day is the 3rd Sunday in June

We discussed Mother Day (or Mothering Sunday) previously viewtopic.php?f=8&t=3614&hilit=+Mothering#p56566
We've had ours

We don't have a traditional Father's day here, but the modern one is the 3rd Sunday in June

May day is a bank holiday here as in many countries, as a traditional (or socialist, depending on preference) holiday. In fact we take the first Monday in May, not necessarily the first day

That's what it is in France Mark, but it is a purely commercial celebration but it is purely commercial and concocted by the greetings card companies which we, as a family ,completely ignore.
