Mother’s Day, or Mothering Sunday, has a rich history that predates the modern-day traditions of gifting flowers and chocolates. Rooted in medieval Christian customs, the day originally centred around visiting the ‘Mother Church’ and later evolved into a celebration of motherhood. From baking Simnel cake to gathering wildflowers, many of the older traditions still influence how we celebrate today. But how did this day almost fade away, and what role did the American Mother’s Day movement play in reviving it? Discover the fascinating origins of Mothering Sunday and how different cultures around the world honour mothers in their own unique ways.
