Mother’s Day all over the world!

I knew that Mother’s Day fell on different days of the year depending where you lived. I am surprised though on how many different days it is actually celebrated.  For example today it is celebrated in Bolivia and in Poland!

    It’s interesting to see how the same event/occasion is celebrated during different days throughout the year in different countries! I wonder whether it is the same for Father’s day..
