Mother’s Day South Sudan 2023: Date, History, Facts, Activities

Mother’s Day is annually observed on the first Monday of July in South Sudan. This year, July 3 is the date. As with all Mother’s Days around the globe, this day honours our mothers — the extraordinary women who nurtured us. It allows us to express our profound appreciation for the sacrifices they made for their children and for all they have done for us. As a mother is the centre of the family and her children rely on her for guidance and care, Mother’s Day serves as a reminder that it is in our best interest to show our mothers the admiration and respect they deserve.

The background of Mother’s Day South Sudan

Mother’s Day is commemorated in Sudan to recognise the immense contributions of our mothers and their significance in our lives. They serve as carers, companions, protectors, and mentors, among other roles. As if being a mother wasn’t enough, they are also grandmothers, mothers, wives, sisters, and professionals in a variety of professions in their rural communities.

Mother’s Day is celebrated in over 50 countries around the globe, although the dates vary. Some nations may have been commemorating Mother’s Day for decades, while others may have only begun doing so in the twentieth century.

In 1872, America first celebrated Mother’s Day. Julia Ward Howe, an American poet and author, urged women to support disarmament and requested the establishment of Mother’s Day for Peace on June 2, 1872. In 1870, she also penned the pacifist Mother’s Day Proclamation, a call for women to coalesce for global peace.

Following the lead of the United States, many countries decided to popularise Mother’s Day while incorporating their country’s unique culture, which resulted in distinct interpretations. In addition, they associated it with various religious, historical, and legendary events.

After assuming power from Sudan, President Salva Kiir Mayardit declared Mother’s Day to be celebrated on the first Monday of July. South Sudan first observed Mother’s Day on July 2, 2012, which was later than most countries. On this day, children in South Sudan lavish gifts and blossoms upon their mothers.
