Mothering Sunday is on the fourth Sunday of Lent. It is often called Mother's Day in Britain.
On this day children often give their mothers gifts and cards as a way of saying thank you for their hard work. Many years ago girls who worked as domestic servants were given the day off work to visit their mothers. In church, prayers are said for mothers at a special service. I remember as a little girl going to church with my mum and receiving a posy of flowers which I then gave to my mum.

How I wish she was still around to tell her how special she was.
