Happy Mother's Day to all mothers and their families who are celebrating this lovely holiday today! Yes, to all, of course, but why did you post it on 10 May while the Day is celebrated on 26 May in Poland?  Mother`s Day and Women`s Day are the only special days I ask my sons to prepare sth for or join in my preparations. |

I leave the Polish holidays to be commented on by the Polish members of the forum...in other words...YOU! That's great that you do that; what about your daughter? She must help in preparations for Mother's Day at least, doesn't she? How does that work with young girls? Are they honored as young women on Women's Day? |

Yes, my daughter is also involved but I don`t have to remind her about it, she is as dutiful as a typical female in such matters.... Yes, we offer flowers and other gifts to her on Women`s Day too. |

Do you mean Mother`s Day is celebrated on 10th May in the USA? In the USA Mother's Day is celebrated on the second Sunday in May, so the date differs from year-to-year. Yes, of course, I should have known! Great, I'm glad to learn the young women are remembered and appreciated as well! That's the famous chivalry of Polish men! |

That's the famous chivalry of Polish men! Wow, funny, a mobile holiday, just like Thanksgiving Day. Yes, I showed photos of Women`s Day with flowers in kindergartens. You probably missed them. Hmm, I am trying to find the thread to show you and I can`t. Strange. |

Not so funny if you think of holy days/holidays in the Church; Easter, Pentecost, Ash Wednesday...all "movable" feasts, or "mobile" as you said! So there is precedent to the custom!
p.s. Father's Day in the US is the third Sunday in June!

That must be Anglo-Saxon way of arranging calendar. Slavic people prefer fixed dates, I see. Ours is better - it is harder to forget when a special day falls in the year. |

I think the reason Mother's Day and Father's Day are on Sundays and not on some fixed date each year is so families can celebrate these occasions together. It's true that many people now work on Sundays, but when these holidays were established, very few people worked on Sunday and it truly was a day for family, etc. It simply made sense then to set Sundays as the days when the holidays would be observed. Even today, out of the entire week, Sundays are the days when the most people are not obliged to work. |
