Celebrating Your Mother On Mothers Day UK

There is the assumption that Mothers Day UK is the same as Mothers Day in the United States, and while there are many similarities, there are some differences.

It is easy and common for individuals living in America to assume that worldwide events like Christmas, mourning rituals, and other common practices will be done in the same way as how they are done in the States, but this is usually not the case.

The history of Mothers Day and how it is celebrated between the two nations is similar but not the same.

Mothers Day UK is celebrated on the fourth Sunday of the church calendar of the season of Lent. Lent is the time when Christians prepare for baptism, or those who have been baptized reflect upon their lives and try to either give up something that is bad for them or spend time in prayer.

The question, "When is Mothering Sunday?" is the same as "When is Mother's Day in the UK?" Since the date for Easter always changes from year to year, the dates for Lent and thus Mother's Day in the UK will also always be different.

So Mothers Day UK does have some differences from other countries, but ultimately it is quite similar. Aside from the date it occurs and a few specific traditions, it is hard to see any real difference between this when this holiday is celebrated in the UK, and when it is celebrated in America.

Mother's Day gifts will still be purchased and given, regardless of the country, and hopefully the children will take the time to remember what their mothers have done on their behalf.
