Mother’s Day in UK
In UK, Mother’s Day is marked on the fourth Sunday of the Christian festival of Lent to pay gratitude to all the doting mothers across the world. Traditionally, it is a day when Christians were encouraged to visit their “mother church.” Nowadays, the day is recognized as a sign of family reunions, especially for the children who stay away from home to come and greet their mothers. However, now the style of celebration of Mother’s Day in the UK walks on the footprints of the US’ Mother’s Day style of celebration and bombarding mothers with hampers, flowers, and gifts has become a trend.
