Mothering Sunday, often referred to as "Mother's Day" in the UK and Ireland, is a Christian tradition celebrated on the fourth Sunday of Lent. Historically, it was a day when individuals returned to their 'mother church'—the main church or cathedral of their area—for a special service. This practice, known as "going a-mothering," allowed families to reunite during the Lenten season. Over time, this tradition evolved into an occasion to honour mothers, with children presenting gifts and flowers as tokens of appreciation.
In contrast, many countries, including New Zealand, celebrate Mother's Day on the second Sunday of May. This observance was established in the early 20th century, largely due to the efforts of Anna Jarvis, who sought to create a day dedicated to honouring the sacrifices and contributions of mothers. The inaugural Mother's Day service took place in 1907 at Andrews Methodist Episcopal Church in Grafton, West Virginia.
