Mother’s Day is celebrated around the world each year. Here in the UK, it always falls on the fourth Sunday in the festival of Lent. Exactly 3 weeks before Easter.
Around the world, most other countries follow the lead of the US celebrating Mother’s Day on the second Sunday of May. In 1914, President Woodrow Wilson declared it a National Holiday “as a public expression of love and reverence for the others of our country.”
One theory of its origins go back to the Middle Ages, when children who had left their families to work in domestic service were allowed to go to their home or ‘mother’ church. Initially the ‘mothering’ part of the occasion had no connection to the ways mums are celebrated today.
The journey home however inevitably became an occasion for families to reunite, with the custom developing for children to pick flowers on their way home to give as a gift to their mothers.
The date took a further celebratory air because it was traditionally an occasion for the fasting rules of Lent to be relaxed, allowing revellers a long-awaited feast.
