When are Father's Day and Mother's Day? What day of the year?

Father's Day is celebrated on the third Sunday in June, and Mother's Day is celebrated on the second Sunday in May.

Beginning in the early 20th century, Father's Day, which originated in the United States, has been widely spread all over the world, and the holiday dates in different regions are also different.

On Father's Day in Chinese mainland, people choose certain flowers to show their respect and yearning for their fathers. At first, people adopted Mrs. Dodd's suggestion, wearing red roses to express their love for their living fathers and white roses to express their condolences for their dead fathers. This custom has been passed down to this day.

Father's Day in Taiwan Province Province, China is scheduled for August 8th every year, also known as "August 8th Festival". This is because "August 8" is similar to dad, and the two words "August 8" are linked together like a "dad", so Father's Day is specially scheduled for August 8.

Mother's Day is a time to thank your mother. Mothers usually receive gifts on this day. Carnation is considered as a flower dedicated to mother, while China's mother flower is Hemerocallis, also known as the girl without sorrow.

Mother's Day was initiated by a woman named Jarvis and founded by her daughter anna jarvis.

In 1980s, Mother's Day was gradually accepted by China people. Starting from 1988, some southern cities such as Guangzhou began to hold mother's day celebrations, and "good mother" was selected as one of the contents.

In 2004, Li, president of China Mother's Day Promotion Association, proposed to establish China Mother's Day.

On June 5438+065438+1October 13, 2006, Li, a member of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, proposed to establish China people's own Mother's Day with the theme of creating China Mother's Day, and suggested that it could be the image representative of China Mother's Day.

From 20 16, Mother's Day in China coincides with Mother's Day in the West.

As descendants of the Chinese people, we should inherit the traditional culture of China and honor our parents. On Mother's Day and Father's Day, we should do something for hard-working parents. Of course, it's not just this day. From now on, we should do something for them every day.
