Upper Barrakka Gardens 4

Mother’s Day will soon be upon us and there’s nowhere quite like Malta to celebrate and appreciate your mum. Steeped in tradition, the celebration of mother’s day in Malta is a heartfelt affair that highlights the deep bonds of family, love, and appreciation. Join us on a journey into the customs, festivities, and why treating your mum to a stay at The Phoenicia Malta is the perfect way to express your gratitude.

Maltese Traditions

Mother’s Day in Malta is not just a day to express love for mothers but an occasion to honour all motherly figures. Celebrated on the second Sunday of May, the day typically begins with a heartfelt breakfast prepared by the family. Many families attend special church services dedicated to mothers, offering prayers and blessings for their well-being.

A popular Maltese Mother’s Day tradition is the giving of flowers, often presented with a card expressing love and gratitude. Bouquets of vibrant blooms can be seen adorning tables in restaurants, family homes, and even public spaces, symbolising the beauty and resilience of mothers.

Family Celebrations and Culinary Delights

Maltese families take Mother’s Day as an opportunity to come together and celebrate the matriarchs of their households. Traditional Sunday lunches are transformed into grand feasts, with families gathering to enjoy a delicious meal prepared with love and care.

Honouring Motherhood with Gifts and Gestures

Beyond flowers and culinary delights, the people of Malta often express their appreciation for mothers through thoughtful gifts and gestures. Many choose to pamper their mothers with spa days, personalised gifts, or even a simple handwritten note expressing gratitude and love.

Maltese children often create handmade crafts at school to gift their mothers, reflecting the importance of personal and heartfelt gestures during this special day. The act of spending quality time together is considered one of the most meaningful ways to celebrate Mother’s Day in Malta.
