๐ŸŒธ The Origins of Mothering Sunday ๐ŸŒธ

Did you know that Mothering Sunday began in the Church, not the card shops?

In the Christian tradition, Mothering Sunday is celebrated on the fourth Sunday of Lent. Historically, people would return to their โ€œMother Churchโ€ โ€” the main church or cathedral where they were baptised โ€” for a special service.

During the 17th and 18th centuries in Britain, many young people worked away from home as servants. On Mothering Sunday they were often given the day off to travel home, visit their mother church, and spend time with their families. Over time, it also became a day to honour and thank our mothers for their love and care.

Today, Mothering Sunday remains a beautiful opportunity to:
๐Ÿ’ Give thanks for our mothers and those who have nurtured us
๐Ÿ™ Celebrate the love and care found in family and church
โ›ช Remember the Church as our spiritual โ€œMotherโ€

Join us this Mothering Sunday as we give thanks to God for the gift of mothers and the family of the Church.

๐Ÿ“… Mothering Sunday Service: March 15th
๐Ÿ•™ Time: 10.30
