Is Mother’s Day Celebrated in Bulgaria?
Actually, Mother’s Day is celebrated in Bulgaria on March 8th, which is also International Women’s Day. On this day, Bulgarians typically honor and show appreciation for their mothers and motherly figures by giving them gifts, flowers, or simply spending time with them.
A common and simple phrase to use on Mother’s Day in Bulgarian is “Честит празник, мамо!” (Chestit praznik, mamo!) which means “Happy holiday, mom!”
This phrase is a straightforward way to express your love for your mother on Mother’s Day in Bulgaria. However, it’s important to note that there is no single “best” phrase to use on Mother’s Day. The most meaningful way to express your love for your mother will be whatever YOU deem best.
