This Sunday, June 4, we celebrate Mother's Day, a tradition respected in France and in many countries around the world. A feast celebrated every year on the last Sunday of May, or on the first Sunday of June if Pentecost falls on the same day.
In France, it was on June 10, 1906 that mothers were honored for the first time, in the village of Artas (Isère) In 1941, Marshal Pétain and his government included the festival on the political calendar to give it a new dimension.
