Mother’s Day in the United Kingdom, often called Mothering Sunday, is celebrated on the fourth Sunday of Lent, which falls in March. The date varies each year because it is linked to the Christian calendar, specifically to the liturgical calendar used by the Church of England. Mothering Sunday has historical roots in the tradition of visiting one’s “mother church” or the main church in their area on this particular Sunday. Over time, it evolved into a day to honour mothers and maternal figures, similar to Mother’s Day celebrations in other countries.
