A Gift from the Heart on Palestinian Mother’s Day

Mother’s Day in Palestine, celebrated on March 21, is a time to honor the strength, love, and resilience of our incredible mothers. It’s a day to express gratitude for the women who nurture us, guide us, and carry our traditions forward.

But as we celebrate, we also hold space for the mothers who have endured profound loss, the ones who have lost children to war, seen their loved ones injured, or live with the constant fear of violence. For many, motherhood means navigating unimaginable hardship while holding onto hope. We remember those who have lost their homes, been separated from their children, or had their families torn apart. Yet through it all, Palestinian mothers continue to embody resilience, love, and strength.

One way we can honor and support these mothers and their families is by purchasing their handmade crafts. For many, their artistry is not only a cultural tradition but also their sole source of income. By choosing their work, we help sustain their livelihoods, preserve Palestinian heritage, and provide them with the resources they need to care for their families.

A gift from Handmade Palestine is more than a gesture of appreciation—it’s a tribute to the resilience of Palestinian mothers and artisans. Each purchase directly supports talented Palestinian women and refugees, many of whom rely on their craft to provide for their loved ones.
