Mothering Sunday

Mothering Sunday, or Mother’s Day, is originally the day for honouring the ‘mother church’, i.e. the church one was baptised at. This has been celebrated on the fourth Sunday of Lent since the Middle Ages.

Mother’s Day, on the other hand, is actually an American holiday, but has become synonymous with Mothering Sunday celebrations throughout the years.
