  • Flowers: It is common to present mothers with bouquets of flowers, especially spring varieties like tulips or mimosas.
  • Family Gatherings: Families often gather for a festive meal, where mothers are usually relieved from household duties so they can enjoy the day.
  • Cultural Events: Schools and communities may host special concerts or events honoring mothers and motherhood.
  • Acknowledgment: People use the day to express gratitude not only to their biological mothers but also to mother figures, grandmothers, and significant women in their lives.

Activities:

  • Many Ukrainians take advantage of the day by spending quality time outdoors if the weather permits, often going for family picnics or strolls in parks.
  • Some families attend church services where special prayers are made for mothers.
