Mother … the word which responds heat in heart of everyone. How many years to us was, every time hearing these four sounds, we somewhere at the subconscious level feel heat, safety, vseprinimayushchy and self-sacrificing love of the person who once has become our first conductor to this world.
In each people treat mothers yours faithfully and deep respect. But, perhaps, in Thailand honoring it is expressed especially brightly and brought to the level of a national holiday.
On August 12 Thailand dresses up in blue clothes: on streets hang out blue flags, people put on in clothes of all shades blue and, apparently, the sky falls by Earth to express the respect to all women who have ventured to play a great role – a role of mother. "Mea" - so sounds this word in Thai.
This holiday is so important for the people of Thailand that he was made official day off. The Thai Embassy solemnly brings together the same who is outside the country in the walls that fellow citizens could and in the distance from the homeland share awe of holiday.
The Mother's Day in Thailand matches another, at least important holiday – Birthday of the queen Sirikit. Together with the king Rama IX they rule the country more than 65 years and became the embodiment of parent care and responsibility.
Thais esteem deeply the parents. And this relation can't be taught. It can only be absorbed, since the birth being in the environment of full care and respect for relatives.
Masters of our salon, as well as everything, once were little girls. In the stories about a holiday they are laconic. On gloss of eyes and special intonations in a voice it is visible – it is about something very intimate. Being small, they with pleasure waited for this day to present to mothers a branch or a garland from flowers of a jasmine – a symbol of purity and feminity, and in the evening, having nestled on the dearest person, admired the salute painting with stars the dark August sky. All of them are already mothers and today received congratulations from the children. But also, having woken up in the morning, first of all have dialed numbers of the mothers or have remembered in prayers of those who have already left the earth.
Let's open a secret – so occurs not only on August 12. Girls call mothers every morning, are interested, how are you, share events of day and learn about their needs. And such relation passes from father to son. In Thailand there are no nursing homes, there it isn't accepted to forget about parents even if it you is far from the house.
When you see such examples, there is a wish to adopt good in the life. It isn't obligatory to wait, on November 27 when the Mother's Day is celebrated in Russia, it is possible to dial familiar number right now and to take an interest as there lives a native person there, on other end of a wire.
