Mother's Day in Russia

Today is the last Sunday of November and it's Mother's Day in Russia. The holiday started in 1998 to mark the role of the most important person in everyone's life.

The light-blue forget-me-not was the emblem of the "I Love You, Mom" action that took place in Moscow today. These delicate flowers remind us not to forget our mothers. Hundreds of volunteers at metro stations were handing out cards to the people this morning.

The cards depicted a funny little bear handing a forget-me-not in his paw with an inscription "I Love You, Mom".

An unusual competition was held in St Petersburg. More than 140 families came to a sports centre in the Primorsky district to take part in baby crawler championship for babies under 12 months. Parents could crawl next to their kids to help them to crawl forward without touching them.

The organizer of the crawler race, head of the district family centre Natalya Rusakova told us that it was fun:

"The babies trained at home. Some liked crawling to a music-playing mobile phone, others preferred a tablet computer. The third group reacted to toys. So the parents brought all those things with them to help their children in the race. The task was to cover a distance of 10 metres within 2 minutes.

All the kids got gifts - a winter sledge or a musical toy, and the fastest racers brought home their first sports awards."

Mother's Day is celebrated on different days in different countries. In the United States, Australia, India, Canada, China, Mexico, Nicaragua, the United Arab Emirates, Ukraine and Japan it is the second Sunday of May. In Belarus, it is October 14. (from newspapers)
