MOTHER'S DAY

The UK holds the prestige of being the first country in the world to dedicate a special day for mothers.
As early as 17th century. In UK, Mother's Day is celebrated on the fourth Sunday in the month of Lent.
Since the days of Lent are not fixed, the date for Mother's Day keeps on changing as well. However, the emotions remain the same.
The feelings associated with the day are much alike those in the rest of the world to express gratitude towards our mother.
It is an opportunity for the children to let their mother know that she is special and loved and cared for. Mother's Day is the contemporary version of the original name ‘Mothering Sunday’. The occasion has a long history, which dates back to as far back as the year 1600. The children would visit their Mother Church and then head straight to meet their own mother, with some fresh flowers.
While the boys would present their mother with flowers, girls would go a step further by presenting them freshly baked handmade cakes.

This special day has now become a time when people give thanks to their mothers and offers an opportunity to express both love and thanks for the work that they do.
