🌸 History of the holiday
The idea of ​​honoring mothers has deep roots. In Ukraine, Mother's Day was first celebrated in 1928 thanks to the initiative of the Union of Ukrainian Women of Canada. The following year, the holiday was celebrated in Lviv, and then spread throughout Galicia. After a long break associated with historical events, the holiday was officially restored in independent Ukraine.
