\"\"<\/a><\/strong>Honouring our parents have never been designated to be an annual event, on any one specific day in the year.<\/p>\n

No specific day to do such has ever been found to have come from the Bible. Any set date to do such is a tradition originating not only from man\u2019s own imaginary carnal thinking and findings, but it is a practice which is just not found to be supported anywhere in the book of our Heavenly Father\u2019s every spoken word to mankind.<\/p>\n

In the absence of any given specific date in Exodus 20:12 on which to honour our parents the most, the conclusive understanding that must be agreed upon of this passage of scripture in the Bible is that it is expected of us, by command, to honour our parents everyday alike,<\/strong> irrespective of the circumstance.<\/p>\n
