Mother's Day in Panama
December 8 · Level 3 · #1782 of 2238
Panamanians honour their mothers on 8 December, and the day is a public holiday. It falls on the Catholic feast of the Immaculate Conception.
How it is celebrated: families gather around the table, children give their mothers flowers, cards and gifts, and many people go to Mass. Homes are usually full of relatives.
Unlike many countries that celebrate Mother's Day in spring, Panama marks it in December, right at the start of the festive season.
