Whilst some parts of India celebrate Mothers Day on the same day as they do in the USA, Hindus in India celebrate the goddess Durga in October with a 10 day festival, named Durga Purga celebrating the triumph of good over evil via the exchanging of gifts. In Ethiopia they celebrate with a three day feast and festivities known as Antrosht. Children will supply the ingredients for a traditional hash, which consists of lamb, butter, spices, cheese and vegetables, which the mother will cook.
After everyone enjoys the meal, mothers and daughters will ritually rub each others faces in butter. The remainder of the night is spent dancing and singing with family. Restaurants, Shops and Families all prepare in advance to celebrate wholeheartedly the mothers in their families who hold special significance to them. Mothers Day is a big celebration in Brazil. In Germany similar to Canada and America, they wear various colours of carnations in order to show their love and respect to their mother.
A red coloured carnation is for all the mothers who are alive, white coloured carnations are worn to honour all mothers who have died. In Japan they are not as focused on gifting material goods as we are in the West, they tend to gift their mother flowers too — mainly carnations as they are seen as a symbol of mothers love. However, some missionaries believe that it was started by Christian followers. In Peru they celebrate Mothers Day enthusiastically in many different ways depending on which part of Peru you are.
The holiday was not supposed to be commercialised, a simple hand-written letter expressing love was to be sufficient to show gratitude. Children offer gifts to their mother, which usually are gifts they have made themselves in school.
Adults, too, give presents to their mother: flowers, chocolates, or a dinner. In my experience, husbands also either give flowers to their wives or they surprise them with a homemade breakfast or a nice meal at a restaurant.
