Belarus marks Mother's Day on 14 October. This is a wonderful occasion to extend words of gratitude and love to the most important person in your life. The holiday was established by a decree of the Belarusian president on 30 July 1996 and is timed to coincide with the religious feast day of the Holy Protection of the Mother of God.
We thank you for life, for warmth and care! Happy Mother's Day to dear mothers!
