Happy Mother's Day!
Today is
Mothering Sunday
in the UK and most of Europe.
It's Christian in origin, dating from the 16th Century - traditionally people visited the church where they were baptised - their 'mother' church. It's always the 4th Sunday in Lent.
Over the years it evolved into people giving gifts to their mothers and is now the same as that celebrated elsewhere in the world, although it is always held on the middle Sunday in Lent.
