Why do we celebrate Mother’s Day?

Mother’s Day, or Mothering Sunday, is a day dedicated to the celebration of mothers and mother-figures such as grandmothers, mothers-in-law and stepmothers.

Traditionally, Mothering Sunday was a time when people went back to the church they attended as children. This meant families were reunited in their home towns and villages. Over time, it then became customary that young people working away as servants were given Mothering Sunday off to go home. They used this as a day to see their mums and take gifts from their employers. Today we still honour the same tradition and use it as a day to visit our mums and thank her for all she’s done with gifts, flowers and meals out.

When is Mother’s Day?

Mother’s Day is held on the fourth Sunday of Lent. Which means it’s three weeks before Easter Sunday and usually falls mid-March or early April.
