Mother’s Day in Mexico is a day of music, banquets, and flowers. Traditional foods, such as pozole, enchiladas, mole, or cochinita pibil from Yucatán, are favorites on Mother’s Day. The celebration begins first thing in the morning, most of the time with music; from the moment moms wake up on this special day, they are the center of everyone’s attention.” [source, LOLO Modern Mexican Mercadito.]
