In the UK Mother's Day, or Mothering Sunday, falls on the fourth Sunday in Lent and is a celebration of all things motherhood!

It originated as a Christian celebration in the 1600s when devoted Christians would visit their 'mother church' for a special service. It is observed on the fourth Sunday of Lent, three weeks before Easter Sunday.

Did you know more phone calls are made on Mother's Day than any other day of the year?
