Mother's Day in 2025

About Mother's Day in Georgia

Georgia marks Mother's Day on March 3rd. Though similar to the day observed in other countries, It is a public holiday in Georgia, as the whole country celebrates this special relationship between a mother and her children, bringing warmth and love to all. 

It was established as an official holiday by the country's first President, Zviad Gamsakhurdia, in 1991 and has been celebrated every year since.

It is a tradition that on this day mothers throughout the country are given spring flowers, mostly violets, sweets, and other presents by the rest of the family.  Promoting respect for women and appreciating their role in the family, as well as their enduring efforts in the upbringing of children, are seen as the principal ideas behind the date. 

This holiday was originally intended to replace Women's Day (March 8th), but both are public holidays.
