MOTHER\u2019S DAY AROUND THE WORLD<\/strong> A special day in the honor of mothers, Mothers Day is celebrated in several countries around the world though on different dates. In a large number of countries including US, Mothers Day is celebrated on the second Sunday in the month of May, but in many other countries Mothers Day is celebrated in an entirely different time of the year. But what ever may be the date of Mother\u2019s Day around the world, the spirit is the same everywhere. Everywhere in the world mothers are respected for their extreme devotion towards their kids. And on Mother\u2019s Day children pay their humblest tribute to their mothers and thank them for giving them birth and providing them with the best of care and upbringing.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
