Scenario for Mother's Day

For a home, school or collective celebration of Mother's Day, you can use ready-made or come up with your own script.

If an artist is growing up in the family or there is already an accomplished master of painting, pastel or pencil, such an undertaking can become a real work of art.

The family is not only a value, but also a social foundation of society. Mothers are of great importance in its formation and existence. They are assigned a creative role, they lay life guidelines for children, and this, in turn, strengthens the prestige of the family and leads to the full development of society and the state. It is the women who raise and educate children that this holiday is dedicated to in Belarus.

When is celebrated

On July 30, 1996, by Decree of the President of the Republic of Belarus No. 277 "On the establishment of a holiday - Mother's Day", its annual celebration was determined on October 14. The document was ratified by A. Lukashenko. In 2020, the date is celebrated for the 25th time.

Who is celebrating

On Mother's Day, all women who have known the joy of motherhood or who are just preparing to become mothers are congratulated. Classroom hours are held in educational institutions. Solemn events take place during the whole week, not just one day.

history of the holiday

There are two opinions about the history of the formation of this event. According to the first, this is a tribute to mothers, to those thanks to whom every person has bright, tender and unforgettable feelings and memories, as well as to those who taught the first lessons of kindness, morality, spirituality, tolerance and philanthropy.

According to the second opinion, the history of Mother's Day begins with a religious Orthodox holiday. In 910, during a divine service, the Virgin Mary (many recognized her as the Mother of God) revealed herself to people, covering the worshipers with a white veil and thereby trying to protect them. That is why the date of the holiday was decided to coincide with the Day of the Intercession.

However, despite the divergence of opinions, this event is a tribute to all mothers for their hard work, which strengthens the institution of motherhood and fatherhood, and also develops a sense of responsibility for raising the younger generation.

Mother's Day is celebrated in many countries of the world, but only in Belarus it is timed to coincide with a religious holiday.

The Order of the Mother in Belarus is awarded to women who have given birth and raised 5 or more children, and the fifth child must reach the age of 1 year, and the rest of the children must be alive.

The statistics of the Republic of Belarus show that 53% of the female population lives on its territory, but almost 87% in state administrative structures are occupied by representatives of the stronger sex. According to the same statistics, the average salary of a woman in the country is almost 81% of the average salary of a man. However, independent studies in this area by UN experts have shown that the real figure is 64%.

So, what holidays are celebrated in Belarus at the state level in autumn?

Mother's Day is an international holiday. Honoring a woman-mother has a long history; in almost all cultures, a mother has been revered since ancient times. However, at the state level in many countries the holiday is celebrated at different times of the year. In the US, this day is the second Sunday in May, annually. On the same day, Finnish, Danish, Estonian, German, Italian, Turkish, Belgian, Australian, Japanese and Ukrainian mothers are congratulated.
In Belarus, Mother's Day is celebrated annually on October 14th. The history of Mother's Day is rooted in a religious holiday - the Intercession of the Most Holy Theotokos, 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, which covered all those praying with a wide white veil (or cover), 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. In addition, this is the second day of the year when women literally drown in luxury bouquets.

On the other hand, the history of the holiday lies in a respectful attitude towards women who have become mothers - this trend can be traced among all Slavs. We are all filled with warm feelings for this most important parental figure in our lives - the one who gave us the first lessons of love and acceptance, spirituality and patience, gave us her warmth and strength.

How is Mother's Day celebrated in Belarus? Of course, the holiday is supported by information - various meetings, lectures, round tables on the topic of motherhood and the holiday itself are held, discussions are held, congratulatory newspapers, posters, and postcards are issued. In schools, it is mandatory to inform students and carry out educational work in order to highlight the history and significance of this holiday. And all those who have a mother simply congratulate their mothers - whether by phone call, postcard, gift certificates- everyone decides for himself.

The state policy of our country in relation to mothers is unequivocal. Everything is done in the republic to ensure that women can fulfill their mission - to raise and educate healthy and happy children. The role of the holiday is extremely important in the ideology of the country, the holiday is a kind of way to strengthen traditional family values, moral principles, establish a more sincere, open, cordial connection between children and mothers. The spiritual revival of society, the formation of morality, the formation and strengthening of civil institutions - all this is necessary for the successful and full development of the state, all this becomes impossible without the presence of correct life guidelines in families, without loving parents and beloved children.
