What is Mothering Sunday ?
Mothering Sunday is celebrated in churches on the fourth Sunday in Lent. Traditionally it is a day when we thank God for the love of our mothers, and we
thank them in person for their care for us. The service dates back hundreds of years to the time when people were encouraged once a year to return to their home or ‘mother’ church or cathedral.
 
Today when we celebrate Mothering Sunday, the focus is mostly on celebrating the mothers in our lives and it is a great opportunity to acknowledge and reflect on all the people in our lives who have “mothered” us in various ways.
