Mother's Day HistoryMother's Day is dedicated to honouring and appreciating the love, care, and sacrifices made by mothers, across the United Kingdom with great enthusiasm and affection. This day provides an opportunity for children to express gratitude and shower their mothers with heartfelt messages, thoughtful gifts, and special gestures. While the core sentiments of love and appreciation remain constant, the manner in which Mother's Day is celebrated has evolved over time, integrating traditions from both religious and secular backgrounds. The origins of Mothering Sunday, as it is traditionally known in the United Kingdom, can be traced back to the 16th century when people would return to their 'mother church' for a special service held during the Christian season of Lent. Over time, this religious custom transformed into a secular event dedicated to showering mothers with love and affection. This evolution saw the adoption of practices such as the exchanging of gifts and the presentation of Simnel cake - a traditional fruit cake decorated with marzipan - symbolising love and gratitude. In the United Kingdom, families across the nation come together to create treasured memories, honouring the bond between mother and child and celebrating the pivotal role mothers play in shaping the lives of their children. Mother's Day is observed on the fourth Sunday of Lent, which usually falls between late March and early April. US Mother's Day facts
