Majčin dan

Majčin dan ili Dan majki je naziv za praznik posvećen majkama koji se u raznim zemljama svijeta slavi na različite datume. U zapadnom svijetu se najčešće slavi u maju.

U komunističkim državama, uključujući SFRJ, se kao Majčin dan podrazumijevao Međunarodni dan žena - 8. mart. U nekim od njih se taj običaj zadržao i danas.

Dan očeva je sličan praznik u kome se odaje počast očevima.
