Mothering Sunday

The history…..

Mothering Sunday originated in the 16th century as a religious tradition on the fourth Sunday of Lent (Mid-Lent Sunday), encouraging people to visit their "mother church"—the main cathedral or parish where they were baptized. It later evolved into a day off for servants to visit their mothers and families.

20th Century Revival: The tradition had declined but was revived in the early 1900s, partly inspired by the American Mother's Day.

Modern Traditions: While rooted in visiting the home church, it has become a day for honoring mothers, often involving church services, flowers, and gifts.


Some images are on a pre cut sheet, the others I fussy cut.
I decide to just throw it all on!.


My thoughts are with those who find this day difficult,
but I hope you have happy memories to comfort you.

Thanks for taking the time to visit, and I really appreciate your comments

Take care and see you soon
