Mother´s Day - 15 fils
The observance of Mother’s Day (عيد الأم) across the Arab world on March 21 originated in Egypt during the mid-1950s before spreading rapidly throughout the Middle East as an annual civic tradition. Scheduled to coincide with the spring equinox—symbolizing growth, renewal, and new life—the holiday was established to celebrate maternal sacrifice, reinforce family bonds, and honor the vital role of mothers in nurturing society. Over the following decade, the celebration became an integral part of the regional calendar across Gulf and Arab nations.
To honor Mother’s Day on March 21, 1965, Kuwait’s postal administration issued a dedicated commemorative stamp series printed by Joh. Enschedé in the Netherlands. Releasing special postage for this annual observance allowed the Kuwaiti government to publicly highlight family welfare, maternal healthcare, and the foundational contributions of women to the nation's social stability and future development.
