Mother’s Day is celebrated every year all around the world. It takes place on different days in different countries, and in Sweden it is celebrated on the last Sunday of May. Mother’s Day 2020, is May 31.  
 
Like a lot of the more modern celebrations in Sweden, Mother’s Day is somewhat of an American import. In Sweden, the day has been celebrated since 1919, but it wasn’t until the 1930s it got really popular. Even though it’s quite a new day of celebrations, Swedes love to celebrate their mothers on this day and shower them with love and affection.
 
How to celebrate Mother’s Day
