How is the 8th of March in Georgia, Features of the International Women's Day

What could be more beautiful to spend the best women's day in Georgia? The magical atmosphere of tenderness, kindness and love of men here meets you at every step. March is a special month for Georgian women, because two amazing holidays, Mother's Day and International Women's Day, open a series of spring events and congratulations. How this day passes in Georgia and what distinctive features of the celebration of March 8 exist, we will talk in this article.

In the middle of the XIX century, American women took to the streets in protest and harassment. They demanded to take their votes in making political decisions, increasing wages and reducing working hours on a level with men. At that moment, their opinion was not heard, the demonstrations were dispersed and no changes were made.

However, 50 years later, on March 8, 1908, women in New York again came out to protest. Bread (economic stability) and roses (raising the standard of living) were chosen as the symbols of the demonstration. This time the voice of the people was heard, and from that moment global changes in relation to women began all over the world.

At the beginning of the XX year, at the suggestion of Clara Zetkin, March 8 was declared International Women's Day. It took more than 50 years for this holiday to be recognized and declared non-working in the USSR as well.

In Georgia, after the collapse of the Soviet Union, the celebration of March 8 was abolished, introducing an official day off on Mother's Day on March 3. For a long time, Georgians celebrated only it, but in 2002, the Parliament and the current president decided to restore International Women's Day to the status of an official holiday weekend. And for the past 20 years, Georgians have been happy to give their women warmth, love and signs of attention twice in the month of March.

Any national holiday in Georgia is held on a large scale and with indispensable fun, and on March 8, all streets and houses in the country are filled with flowers, sweets and millions of enthusiastic compliments to all women.

Any lady on this day receives an avalanche of congratulations and wishes. Georgians are very loving and do not hesitate to show their emotions at all, especially if these feelings are associated with women.

Mimosa is considered an unspoken symbol of March 8 in Georgia – it is this flower that is given more often. Nevertheless, absolutely all bouquets are swept away in flower shops, because it is vital that every girl must receive at least flowers on this day.

Tables are necessarily set in every house, where women take the place of honor of the queen. All toasts are made in their honor, glasses are raised and songs are sung. An incredible atmosphere fills absolutely every corner of the country on this day!
