Mother's Day

Mothering Sunday is always the fourth Sunday of Lent however as the dates vary as to when Easter and Lent fall the actual Sunday chosen to celebrate mothers day can vary.
Mothering sunday is more often referred to as "Mother's Day" and has become one of the key celebrations in the UK where both mothers day gifts and mothers day cards are given to show mums of all ages just how special they are.

History of Mothers Day

In Victorian times Mothers day was a day when children, mainly daughters, who had gone to work as domestic servants were given a day off to visit their mother and family.
In olden times it was considered important for people to return to their home or "mother" church at least once a year. So each year in the middle of Lent, everyone would visit their "mother" church.
Most historians think that it was this return to the "Mother" church which led to the tradition of children who were working as domestic servants, or as apprentices, being given the day off to visit their mother and family. 

The work children would walk through the streets picking wildflowers to give to their mothers when they arrived back at home. They often brought small gifts from the merchants or nobles that they worked for as presents for the family.

The Sunday of their return the entire family would go to church and present gifts to all the mothers and give offerings to the church. This was a day of feasting when all of the restrictions of Lent were put aside for the day. This feast day became known as Mothering Sunday. After Mothering Sunday, the children would return to their work and would not visit home again until Christmas time.

The tradition of giving gifts, flowers and festive meals has stayed with us and this special day has now been given the name Mothers day and has become a time when people give thanks to their mothers for all their love and work that they do.
