It will be Mothering Sunday or Mother’s Day as it is now known in England. Here in Spain, we will be celebrating Father’s Day with a concert in the Auditorium.
Of course, Father’s Day is not until Monday 19th March, a day when all the shops and businesses will be closed.
Rather interestingly, Father’s Day assumes a lot more importance than Mother’s Day here in Spain. That is not necessarily the same in all countries though. Nor of course, is Father’s Day on the same day each year in other parts of the world.
The chart below shows the day in different countries of the world.
