To honor mothers, a holiday was established dedicated to all women who have a child, and to 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 the national 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 introducing this date into the calendar of significant events in the Russian Federation was A. Aparina, a State Duma deputy. She was an activist and was in a service dealing with women, families and the younger generation.

In the Russian Federation, the first holiday dedicated to mothers was arranged by a teacher teaching Russian language and literature. Baku resident E. Huseynova, who works at the 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 do not yet have an official status, have become traditional for many educational institutions.

There is probably no country where Mother's Day is not celebrated. In Russia, Mother's Day began to be celebrated relatively recently. Established by the Decree of the President of the Russian Federation B.N. Yeltsin No. 120 "On Mother's Day" dated January 30, 1998, it is celebrated on the last Sunday of November, paying tribute to maternal labor and their selfless sacrifice for the benefit of their children. In 2017, this holiday falls on November 26th.

Mother's Day is a touching celebration brought into our culture by Western influences. In this it is akin to St. Valentine or Halloween.

The holiday quickly fell in love with the Russians. The number of its adherents is steadily growing every year. Celebration traditions are formed in families: special dishes, walks, memorable trifles. For some, this is an occasion to visit their mother, for others - once again to go to the cemetery and pray. In schools and kindergartens, this significant day is timed to concerts, making homemade gifts.

The United States was the first country to officially introduce the holiday. The initiative came from below. In 1910, the celebration was recognized in the state of Virginia, and since 1914 throughout the country. The date of the celebrations was the second Sunday in May.

The same day was chosen to establish the national celebration of 23 countries of the world. It is difficult to say which part of them fell under the influence of US culture. It is interesting that the initiative was taken up by states far from them in terms of culture and way of life - Bahrain, Hong Kong, India, OAO, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Estonia.

The celebration in Russia was established on the initiative of the State Duma Committee on Women, Family and Youth Affairs and its chairman A.V. Aparina. The proposal was approved by the President of Russia B.N. Yeltsin, informs Rosregistr. On this occasion, back in 1988, the eponymous decree No. 120 "On Mother's Day" was adopted.

Its text is extremely short and consists of only two sentences. First, the purpose of the introduction is highlighted:

• increasing the importance of motherhood;
• paying tribute to selfless maternal labor for the benefit of children;
• strengthening family foundations;
• manifestation special attention to pregnant women and women who have already realized themselves in the field of motherhood.

Secondly, the day of celebration is set - the last Sunday of November.

A new holiday - Mother's Day - is gradually entering Russian homes. And this is wonderful: no matter how many good, kind words we say to our mothers, no matter how many reasons we come up with for this, they will not be superfluous.

Various events dedicated to this Day are held especially beautifully and unforgettably in preschool and educational institutions where children give their mothers not only good words and smiles, but many handmade gifts and specially prepared concert numbers.

Also in recent years, the holding of cultural events dedicated to this Day has become more and more, and they are held in almost all regions of our country, and a number of them are organized or supported by local authorities (these are festive concerts, meetings with mothers of large families, etc.). .d.).

In more than 60 constituent entities of the Russian Federation, diplomas, medals, badges of honor, titles and awards for the worthy upbringing of children and a special contribution to the implementation of regional family policy have been established for mothers, the presentation of which is also timed to coincide with this wonderful holiday.

Among the many holidays celebrated in our country, Mother's Day occupies a special place. This is a holiday to which no one can remain indifferent. On this day, I would like to say words of gratitude to all Mothers who give children love, kindness, tenderness and affection.

Happy Mother's Day
