Holidays of Georgia - Mother's Day

Mother's Day is celebrated all over the world, in all countries, and Georgia is no exception. In this country, the holiday is celebrated on March 3. The celebration was initiated by the first President of Georgia, Zviad Gamsakhurdia, in 1991. The Supreme Council supported the idea and established a holiday. This day was originally planned to replace International Women's Day. However, to this day in Georgia I celebrate both Mother’s Day and March 8th. Mother's Day in Georgia is not just a holiday, it has a good and high purpose, supports the traditions of caring for women and mothers, and reinforces family traditions and foundations. Mother's love is the brightest and most selfless thing in the world. A mother’s love is compared to the sun’s rays, which warm all life on the planet; this is the most beautiful and selfless thing that can be. Mother's Day is a family holiday in Georgia. It is on this day that mothers receive congratulations from their loved ones. Children express gratitude for everything their mothers do for them every day. After all, a mother is a person who deserves respect and deep respect for everything that she has already done and continues to do for her children. In Georgia, the cult of the mother has existed for a very long time; this is reflected even in the Georgian language. For example, the word "dedamitsa" means "mother earth". This suggests that the mother was always treated with respect and reverence. The purpose of the holiday is to encourage support for the traditions of caring for mothers, to consolidate family traditions and foundations, and to note how important the role of the mother is in the life of every person. On this day, in addition to celebrations in every family, events are also held in large cities. Usually these are exhibitions, various concerts and flash mobs. Awards are given to heroine mothers and mothers of many children. There are traditions in every country and every people. However, one thing is constant - mothers and women are revered everywhere and always. Despite the fact that this holiday is celebrated everywhere at different times, nevertheless, it exists, and mothers are congratulated with poems, warm words, congratulations, given gifts, postcards, small souvenirs, various little things and other surprises. After all, a gift is not the main thing, but the main thing for a mother is the love of her loved ones. The main thing on this day is not to forget to express love and gratitude to your dearest person.
