Mother’s Day

Mother’s Day is celebrated to honour all mothers, thank them for their efforts in giving them life, raising them and being their constant [অবিচলিত] support. Mother’s Day came into being due to the efforts made by Ms Julia Ward Howe and Ms Anna Jarvis. In our country, Mother’s Day is celebrated on the second Sunday of May with joy and devotion [ভক্তি]. In observance [রীতিনীতি পালন] of the day discussion programs are organized by government and non-governmental organizations. Reception programs and cultural [সাংস্কৃতিক] programs are organized to mark [চিহ্ন] the day in the capital city. Television channels air special programs, and newspapers publish special features and columns to mark the day. Greeting cards, flowers and gifts featuring mothers are in high demand at the shops and markets. Young children get especially excited about Mother’s Day and put a lot of effort into making cards and presents for their Mums. For mothers, it is like having a second birthday. It is common for children to cook for their mother so she can have breakfast in bed. She also receives presents, flowers and cards. Mother is a creative and caring woman. She takes time to teach us things like how to read and how to write.  My mother cooked special dishes for us. Actually, the celebration of Mother’s Day is the external [বাহ্য] expression [প্রকাশ] of gratitude [কৃতজ্ঞতা প্রকাশ] of a child to its loving mother.
