Mother's Day

When is Mother's Day?

In Poland, Mother's Day is always on May 26th every year.

Is it a public holiday?
How do children celebrate?
What gifts are common?
Where did it start?

No, shops and schools usually stay open on this day.

Kids often make handmade cards called “laurki,” decorated with flowers and personal messages for their moms.

Families typically give flowers, small gifts, cakes, and organize special meals or visits to show appreciation.

The first celebrations began in Kraków in the early 1900s, inspired by American traditions.
