English Voyager Posted May 14, 2017 #2 Share Posted May 14, 2017 Admittedly not difficult at my age, but your post had me confused.:confused: Here in the UK, 'Mothering Sunday', although commonly called 'Mother's Day', is on the fourth Sunday in Lent, and so this year took place on the 26 March.

Well Mother's Day should be everyday even in the U.K., so wishing happy Mother's Day to moms in the U.K. Should be embraced Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting post. I wondered about the conneciton you made to the liturgical calendar and mothers. Here is one answer: https://www.timeanddate.com/holidays/uk/mothering-sunday I celebrated Mothers Day today with my son and grandsons at the church where they all were baptized and married. So I am following both traditions. :halo: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
