Mother’s Day Traditions Around the World
Depending on where you are in the world, the concept of Mother’s Day can be very different from what other people celebrate in other areas.
In Japan, for example, the holiday is marketed very heavily just like it is in the US. Flowers are the typical gift. The holiday is unofficial in China but is seeing a rise in popularity, with more and more people showing an interest in celebrating.
Countries like Iran also celebrate it, although the holiday was recently moved after the Iranian revolution.
In the UK and Ireland the holiday came about based on the old Christian tradition of visiting your mother church once every year. Since a lot of people did that around Easter, the holiday appeared during that time.
No matter where you live or what traditions you associate with Mother’s Day, there’s no doubt that mothers are very important to society in virtually all cultures because they run households, hold down jobs, and raise children, sometimes on their own. They’re important in a lot of ways, no matter where they live.
