Mother’s day is the
day for families to show their appreciation to their mothers, a day set aside
to celebrate motherhood and the mother figures in our lives such as grandmothers,
godmothers, etc.
Mother’s Day falls on
different dates in different countries. In the UK, Ireland, Nigeria and some
other countries, Mothering Sunday (as Mother’s day is also called) is
celebrated on the fourth Sunday of Lent (the Christian period of fast) - precisely
on the 3rd Sunday before Easter Sunday.
