Mother's Day, or "Fête des Mères," as it is known in French-speaking countries like Gabon, is a celebration honoring mothers and motherhood. It is observed on the last Sunday of May each year in Gabon.
The origins of Mother’s Day are not specific to Gabon but rather have roots in ancient festivals and the more modern American celebration that began in the early 20th century. In Gabon, as with many countries around the world, Mother’s Day was adopted as a way to celebrate and honor the contributions of mothers within families and society at large.
Traditional customs on this day are centered around showing appreciation for mothers. This could include:
Gift-Giving: Children often give gifts to their mothers, such as flowers, cards, or handmade items expressing their love and gratitude.
Special Meals: Families might prepare a special meal or go out to eat to give mothers a break from cooking and household chores.
Family Gatherings: It’s common for extended families to come together on Mother’s Day to celebrate all the mothers in the family.
