In the Republic of Belarus, Mother’s Day has been celebrated since 1996 in accordance with the order of the President of the Republic of Belarus.
Being a mother means giving life to a new person, keeping and protecting a child, teaching him to live in this world and helping him become a full-fledged member of human society.
The history of the holiday Mother’s Day is rooted in the religious holiday – the Intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary; in all Orthodox churches a festive service is held on this day. It is believed that in 910 in Jerusalem, the Mother of God miraculously revealed herself; during the service, many people saw the Mother of God in the sky, who covered all those praying with a wide white veil (or veil), trying to protect all the children of God. That is why Mother’s Day in Belarus is timed to coincide with such an important holiday in the Orthodox religious tradition.
Mom, mommy, mommy… Words that in the life of every person are associated with the warmest, brightest and most intimate feelings. Mother’s Day is a kind of thanksgiving day, the day of the greatest and most holy mission for those who carried a child under their hearts and whose hearts all their lives then Mother’s Day is a kind of thanksgiving day, the day of the greatest and most holy mission for those who carried a child under their hearts and whose hearts all their lives then ache for him. It is in maternal love, blind to self-denial, that the future of humanity and our small country in particular lies. In the current demographic situation, the word “mother” is no longer only the first word in the personal destiny of each of us. Happy motherhood is a national priority.
Protecting the health of women and children and protecting motherhood are one of the main objectives of state policy, a priority in healthcare, which is of particular importance in shaping the health of the nation.
In Belarus, the closest attention is paid to solving the problems of women, families and children, creating conditions for their normal life, fully understanding that these are the dominant issues in the country, determining its potential and real prospects for many years to come.
In recent years, the country has continued to improve legislation in order to increase the level of social and medical protection of the rights of mothers and children and the interests of the family.
Our lovely women – mothers – not only protect the family hearth, but, sparing no effort and time, work in all spheres of the economy, culture, art, and sports.
Confirmation of the prestige of motherhood is the nomination of the most worthy mothers of many children to be awarded the state award of the Republic of Belarus – the Order of the Mother (this high sign of maternal valor was established by presidential decree in 1995).
This holiday is a tribute to all mothers of our country. On this day I would like to say words of gratitude to all Mothers who give their children love, kindness, tenderness and affection. Thank you!.. And may your beloved children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren say warm words to each of you more often. Let a smile shine on their faces and joyful sparkles sparkle in their eyes when you are together. No matter how many good, kind words are said to mothers, no matter how many reasons they come up with for this, they will not be superfluous.
