In Germany, Mothers Day (Muttertag) takes place on the second Sunday in May. The giving of Mothers Day cards is extremely popular. During WWII, Mothers Day took on political significance as the day to acknowledge women for producing children for the nation. Medals were awarded in gold, silver or bronze, based upon how many children were in the household. After the war, it assumed a softer feel, with the giving of gifts, cards and flowers, as well as festive meals earmarking the day.
