Do not fill this in! ====Bolivia==== In [[Bolivia]], Mother's Day is celebrated on 27 May. El ''Día de la Madre Boliviana'' was passed into law on 8 November 1927, during the presidency of [[Hernando Siles Reyes]]. The date commemorates the [[Battle of La Coronilla]], which took place on 27 May 1812, during the [[Bolivian War of Independence]], in what is now the city of [[Cochabamba]]. In this battle, women fighting for the country's independence were slaughtered by the Spanish army. It is not a public holiday, but all schools hold activities and festivities throughout the day.<ref name="bolivia">Sources for Bolivia: * {{Cite web |title= 27 de mayo: madres que inspiran valentía |work= Los Tiempos |language= es |date= 27 May 2009 |url= http://www.lostiempos.com/diario/actualidad/vida-y-futuro/20090527/27-de-mayo-madres-que-inspiran-valentia_10890_17707.html |url-status= dead |archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20090611082715/http://www.lostiempos.com/diario/actualidad/vida-y-futuro/20090527/27-de-mayo-madres-que-inspiran-valentia_10890_17707.html |archive-date= 11 June 2009 |df= dmy-all }} * {{Citation |title= El Día de la Madre se nutre con la Virgen |work= La Razón (La Paz) |language= es |date= 27 May 2006 |url= http://www.la-razon.com/versiones/20060527_005554/nota_250_291138.htm |url-status= dead |archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20081105112424/http://www.la-razon.com/versiones/20060527_005554/nota_250_291138.htm |archive-date= 5 November 2008 |df= dmy-all }}</ref> Summary: Please note that all contributions to Christianpedia may be edited, altered, or removed by other contributors.
