When is Mother’s Day?
Mothering Sunday falls on the 4th Sunday in Lent, 3 weeks before Easter Day. This year, Mothers Day is on Sunday 22nd March.
Why do we celebrate Mother’s Day?
For over a century, the day has been recognised as a day to celebrate motherhood. Traditionally, flowers, cards and gifts are given. In the UK, Mother’s Day is celebrated in March traditionally, whereas, in the US, it is celebrated in May.
Mother’s Day, as we know it today, was first celebrated in 1908, where a memorial was held for social activist Anna Jarvis’ mother in a Methodist Church in West Virginia. This campaign led to the US officially observing the holiday in 1911, and in 1914, the then- president, Woodrow Wilson signed a proclamation designating Mother’s Day as a national holiday.
