More about Mothering Sunday

Mothers Day is a chance to say thank you for with cards, flowers and gifts for all the little and big things our Mums have done for us over the years. Mothers Day like many traditions is a blend of two older celebrations, a religious celebration 'Mothering Sunday' and an American celebration known as 'Mothers Day’.

In the UK we celebrate Mothers Day on the fourth Sunday in Lent, 'Mothering Sunday', which was originally a religious celebration dating back hundreds of years. Traditionally a day that domestic servants were given off work once a year to return home to the birth towns and visit their ‘mother’ church during Lent.

Of course this holiday and the chance to reunite the family meant it was also a time of celebration particularly as in Victorian times children would often work away from home from the age of 10. The tradition of flowers grew out of children returning home with gifts of flowers picked from the hedgerows and the Simnell or traditional Mothering Sunday cake also came to be a part of the family celebrations.
