History of Mothering Sunday

Mother’s Day has its roots in religion. It is celebrated on the 4th Sunday of Lent, 3 weeks prior to Easter Sunday, and is supposed to be a celebration for the Virgin Mary, Mother of God. This is because, according to the Christian Bible, Mary was the one who discovered that Jesus Christ had been resurrected on Easter Sunday.

Mother’s Day celebrations generally began with families visiting their local church or parish, as it was considered imperative to be with family during the occasion. This was great for the children of the time since they would usually be out working all day from as young as aged 10, and so Mother’s Day gave them the chance to see their mothers and take a break.

With the spread of Christian ideas, the celebrations became more popular and eventually evolved from only celebrating Mother Mary to celebrating mothers in general. At this point, it was then a commonplace occasion and one that we still celebrate today.
