Mother's Day in Malta is celebrated with much affection and reverence, following the international tradition of honoring mothers and motherhood. On the island, it is observed on the second Sunday of May, aligning with many other countries around the world.
The adoption of this celebration in Malta is relatively modern, with influences from Western traditions. It does not stem from a long historical Maltese tradition but rather has been embraced as a day to recognize and appreciate the contributions of mothers within families and society.
On Mother's Day, Maltese people typically celebrate by:
Gift-Giving: Children and family members give gifts to their mothers as a token of appreciation. Common gifts include flowers, chocolates, jewelry, or handcrafted items.
Special Meals: Many families organize a special meal, either by cooking at home or by dining out. Restaurants across Malta often offer special menus for Mother's Day.
Church Services: For those with religious affiliations, attending Mass is common practice. Special prayers might be offered for mothers during these services.
Family Gatherings: Mother’s Day is an opportunity for extended family get-togethers where all generations come together to celebrate.
In recent times, there has been an increasing commercial aspect to the holiday in Malta as well, with shops and businesses running promotions and advertising campaigns targeted at gift ideas for mothers. Despite this commercialization, the core sentiment of appreciation and love remains at the heart of Mother's Day celebrations on the island.
