Date: Mother's Day in Mauritius is celebrated on the last Sunday of May, aligning with many other countries around the world.
History: The concept of Mother's Day has its roots in ancient festivals dedicated to mother goddesses, but the modern version is largely influenced by the American Mother's Day established by Anna Jarvis in the early 20th century. In Mauritius, a multicultural island nation with a mix of European, African, Indian, and Chinese heritage, Mother's Day has been embraced as a celebration of motherhood and maternal bonds.
Traditions: On Mother's Day in Mauritius:
Gift-Giving: Children often give gifts and flowers to their mothers as a token of appreciation. It is common for schools to organize activities where children can make handmade gifts.
Family Meals: Families might gather for a special meal either at home or at a restaurant. Mothers are typically treated to their favorite dishes or taken out so they do not have to cook.
Religious Observances: Some people attend religious services to honor motherhood within their spiritual beliefs.
Appreciation: It is a day filled with expressions of gratitude, where mothers are celebrated through cards, poems, and words of thanks.
On this day, the role of mothers in nurturing and shaping lives is acknowledged across the island nation with warmth and affection.
