Saturday and Sunday · A public holiday does not always close every business. Essential services, shops and some industries keep working, and pay rules differ by country and contract.
Mother's Day is a day for honouring mothers and motherhood, celebrated in many countries with flowers, cards, small gifts and family meals. In most countries, including Lithuania and Latvia, it falls on a Sunday and is an observance rather than a day off, so shops and restaurants are open and often busy. Schools and kindergartens often mark it with performances and handmade gifts. The date differs between the two neighbouring Baltic countries, so greetings across the border may arrive on different Sundays.
The date and history vary by country. In Lithuania it is the first Sunday of May; Soviet-era celebrations had been shifted to 8 March, and the May date was revived in 1987. In Latvia it is the second Sunday of May. In the United States it is the second Sunday of May, and in the United Kingdom Mothering Sunday falls on the fourth Sunday of Lent, a separate Christian tradition. Other countries use fixed dates, such as 3 March in Georgia, 10 May in Mexico, 12 August in Thailand, 8 December in Panama and 22 December in Indonesia.
