Mother’s Day Gifts

Mother’s Day (or Mothering Sunday), which falls this year on Sunday 22nd March, has been celebrated in the UK on the fourth Sunday in Lent since at least the 16th century. It is a day for celebrating and giving thanks for all the wonderful things mothers do for us.

Why is Mothers Day on different dates each year?

Mother’s Day is always the middle Sunday in Lent (which lasts from Ash Wednesday to the day before Easter Sunday) so it falls on different dates from year to year.

As mentioned above, the date of Mother’s Day changes from year to year, so to save you the confusion we’ve listed when Mother’s Day falls for the next few years!
