Mother’s Day in Hungary
May 3 · Level 1 · #2055 of 2238
Hungary celebrates Mother’s Day on the first Sunday in May. Families use the occasion to thank mothers for their care, encouragement and everyday work that can easily go unnoticed. Grandmothers often receive affectionate greetings too.
How it is celebrated: children learn poems and songs, make cards and prepare handmade presents. Nurseries and schools organise performances, while families give flowers and set aside time to be together.
Hungarian mothers celebrate a week before mothers in the United States, where the occasion falls on May’s second Sunday. The familiar family celebration changes its place in the calendar across borders.
