Belarus celebrates the Mother's Day. Concerts and numerous actions were held in honor of the most important women in the life of every person. There are more than 116 000 large families in our country, over 80% of them are mothers with 3 children. There are also many parents raising 5, 8 and even 12 children! President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko congratulated the compatriots on the holiday.
A church holiday coincided with the Mother’s Day. As the Mother of God shelters and protects people from enemies visible and invisible with her veil, so a woman-mother protects her children and her family hearth.
The whole week is full of events of various kinds: honoring heroines, numerous competitions, round tables, and flash mobs in social networks. Women who became mothers of five or more choldren are awarded the Order of the Mother.
