PARENTS DAY IN THE DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC OF THE CONGO: AUGUST 1
In the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Parents’ Day is one of the | public holidays specially celebrated on August 1st each year. This day is devoted to honor the role played by mothers and fathers in the Congolese society and the significance of the family unit.

History of Parents Day in Congo
The origin of this celebration is attributed to | Mobutu in 1979 who decided to replace | All Saints Day, a vestige of the colonial era, with this holiday now dedicated to parents and ancestors in general. Early in the morning, people go to clean up the cemeteries in remembrance of the deceased relatives before giving cards and gifts to their parents.

Congo’s Parents Day Traditions and Activities
The main reason for this elevated occasion is that, in the Congo, families habitually tend to be big - six children per woman on average – whereas the worldwide average is less than half that. This accentuates the traditional roles of parents, which is to look after and provide for the family as numerous as it may be. Culturally, parents are not only the individual that gave you birth and brought you up to face this challenging world. They are all those who placed the building blocks of your life. Thus, August 1st is the unique day consecrated to relax and to think of them with beautiful gifts that make them realize that they are not taken for granted but, in the contrary, are cared for and loved.
