In 1956, Mother’s Day was officially established in Egypt.In 1956, Mother’s Day was officially established in Egypt. Ten years later, they wanted to rename it Family Day, because, according to the Egyptians, the name Mother’s Day caused unpleasant memories among orphans who lost their mother.

Every holiday in Egypt is a convenient excuse for family gatherings, Mother’s Day is no exception. Without respect for the mother, there is no solid moral foundation for the individual and for society. Without respect for the mother there is no understanding, tranquility and peace. Because everything beautiful in a person is from the caress of his mother. Of all the traditions and customs of Egypt, close family ties are the best of a distant and complex past.

Like all tribes, the Egyptians have clan traditions. Therefore, when brothers and sisters, cousins and second cousins, wives of cousins, husbands of second cousins and just friends go to visit each other, it is not an ordinary family visit, but a nomadic tribe in the desert.

The ceremony also resembles the traditions of the Arabian desert, not the concrete city. After the exchange of oriental courtesies in these cases, guests and hosts should sit down with their legs clenched on the carpet in the tent, and they instead sit on European chairs with straight uncomfortable backs in the modernized apartment.
