Mother's Day

Introduction

In South Korea, Parents’ Day is celebrated on May 8th. In the US, Mother’s Day is observed on the second Sunday of May.

In America, more phone calls are made on Mother’s Day than any other day of the year; phone traffic often spikes by as much as 37 percent. Mother’s Day is usually commemorated with a formal meal, and though it isn’t the same as a birthday, sometimes there will be gifts as tokens of appreciation! Kids most often show their appreciation for mom through support and encouragement.

For context, Mother’s Day is the third-largest retail holiday, following Christmas and back-to-school season.

Cultural Differences

While Mother’s Day is only a single day in the US, celebrations of Moms take place all over the world! For example, in India, Mother’s Day is a ten-day celebration, during which there are parties and various festivities. In Brazil, Mother's Day is second only to Christmas-- taking place in May, Brazil’s Mother’s Day involves barbecues and other delicious feasts.

Despite the differences, however, it’s most important to remember that there is much in common worldwide. Specifically, this holiday is a time for you to show support for the people you care about!

We encourage you to have a conversation with your tutor about how they celebrate Mother’s Day. Is it different from what you expected?

어머니의 날

들어가며

5월 8일은 한국의 어버이날이고 매년 5월 두번째 일요일은 미국의 “어머니의 날”입니다.

미국에서는 어머니의 날에 1년 중 가장 많은 통화가 오가는데, 이 날 약 37% 이상 통화가 급증합니다. 어머니의 날에는 보통 격식을 차린 식사를 하게 되는데, 이 날이 생일은 아니지만 때론 감사의 표시로 선물도 함께 드립니다. 아이들은 어머니를 응원하고 지지하는 것으로 고마움을 표현하기도 합니다.

덧붙이자면, 이런 미국의 어머니의 날은 크리스마스와 개학 시즌에 이어 세 번째로 많은 소비가 이루어지는 큰 공휴일입니다.

문화차이

미국에서의 어머니의 날은 단 하루 뿐이지만, 어머니를 위한 기념행사는 전 세계에서 열립니다! 예를 들어, 인도에서는 어머니의 날을 열흘간 기념하는데, 이 기간 동안 파티와 다양한 축제들이 열립니다. 브라질에서 어머니의 날은 5월의 크리스마스로 여겨질 정도이며, 바비큐 파티와 푸짐하게 잘 차려진 음식들이 함께 합니다.

어머니의 날을 기념하는데는 이렇게 차이가 있지만, 세계적으로 공통점이 있다는 것을 기억하는 것이 중요합니다. 특별히 이번 어머니의 날은 여러분이 아끼는 분에게 많은 지지와 응원을 보여줄 시간입니다.
