Mother's Day in Costa Rica
August 15 · Level 2 · #1808 of 2238
Mother's Day in Costa Rica brings families together to recognize mothers and the care they give. It is an important occasion for expressing gratitude, with personal celebrations closely connected to the country's religious traditions.
How it is celebrated: relatives share meals, give flowers and presents, and prepare affectionate messages. Children contribute songs or poems, while some families attend Mass as part of the day's celebrations.
Costa Rica uses 15 August, the Catholic feast of the Assumption of Mary. That gives its Mother's Day a different place in the calendar from the second Sunday in May familiar in many other countries.
