“A mother is a person of great importance because she gave birth, raised and took care of us and truly loves her children,” Mana said. “Children must always show gratitude and respect. Therefore, these 59 good mothers received certificates to honor them on Mother’s Day and to instill the value of gratefulness for parents and respected ones.”
The event included a dharma lesson from Panyarattanaporn, abbot of Chaimongkol Temple; a ceremony that saw children prostrate themselves before their mothers to thank and honor them.
