Admittedly not difficult at my age, but your post had me confused.:confused:

 

Here in the UK, 'Mothering Sunday', although commonly called 'Mother's Day', is on the fourth Sunday in Lent, and so this year took place on the 26 March.

 

Well Mother's Day should be everyday even in the U.K., so wishing happy Mother's Day to moms in the U.K. Should be embraced

Interesting post.

I wondered about the conneciton you made to the liturgical calendar and mothers.

Here is one answer:

I celebrated Mothers Day today with my son and grandsons at the church where they all were baptized and married. So I am following both traditions. :halo:

Thank you for the link.

 

You might find the following article interesting as it details the transition from the 16th Century UK tradition of 'Mothering Sunday' to the American tradition of 'Mother's Day'.
