The Origins of Mother's Day
While honouring mothers stretches back to ancient times (think Greek and Roman festivals), modern Mother's Day is largely thanks to Anna Jarvis' early 20th-century efforts. Her goal was to recognise mothers' contributions to families and society.
When is Mother's Day 2024 in the UK?
Mother's Day in the UK will be celebrated on Sunday, March 10th, 2024. Unlike fixed-date holidays, Mother's Day in the UK (also called Mothering Sunday) changes each year.
Why does Mother's Day in the UK have a different date each year?
The UK tradition of Mother's Day is tied to the Christian calendar. It always falls on the fourth Sunday of Lent, the period leading up to Easter. This tradition has roots in the Middle Ages, where it began as a day for people to return to their "mother" church. Over time, it evolved into a family-focused celebration.
