About Mother’s Day
Mother’s Day in Georgia is observed on March 3 and is listed as a holiday in the country’s Labour Code.
It is a Georgia-specific calendar date and should not be confused with the second-Sunday-in-May Mother’s Day used in many other countries or with Georgia’s March 8 International Women’s Day.
Why Mother’s Day matters
The day centers appreciation for mothers and maternal relationships in Georgian family and public life.
Because both March 3 and March 8 appear separately in Georgia’s statutory holiday list, a guide should not describe one as merely another name for the other.
History of Mother’s Day
The Public Defender of Georgia states that March 3 has been celebrated as Mother’s Day in Georgia since 1991.
Current Georgian labour law lists March 3 — Mother’s Day — among statutory holidays.
The same Labour Code separately lists March 8 as International Women’s Day, preserving two distinct March holidays.
The reviewed primary sources do not establish the exact original decree, resolution or adoption date that first created the March 3 holiday, so those details remain unresolved rather than inferred.
