Georgia celebrates Mother’s Day

Georgia marks Mother’s Day today, a national holiday dedicated to honoring mothers and their role in society.

Mother’s Day in Georgia was established by the country’s first President, Zviad Gamsakhurdia, and was officially approved by the Supreme Council of Georgia in 1991. The holiday was initially intended to replace International Women’s Day on March 8, but both days are now celebrated separately.

March 3 is recognized as an official holiday in Georgia, with various events and initiatives held to appreciate mothers across the country.

Many families take the opportunity to express gratitude, while government officials and public figures extend their congratulations on this special occasion.
