In different countries the Mother Day is celebrated on different dates:

• In the UK the day is celebrated on the fourth Sunday of March in memory of Mother Church on Christian Mothering Sunday.
• In Greece, it is celebrated on February 2. While in Thailand, Mother’s Day is always celebrated in August on the birthday of the Queen Sirikit.
