Mothers’ Day Quite honestly, we don’t know if the Haitian people celebrate a Mothers’ Day, and, if so, whether it coincides with our beautiful tradition. Still, we want to honor all Haitian mothers and today is a wonderful time to do just that. Haitian mothers assume most of the task of raising the children of Haiti.
