alison Posted May 14, 2017 Share Posted May 14, 2017 No, in the UK we still celebrate Mothering Sunday: it actually has little to do with mothers, but apparently was the time, halfway through Lent, when domestic staff were allowed to return home at the weekend to go to their "mother" church. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lizbie1 Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 I think SBF is referring to ours being in March rather than May. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is very interesting Alison, and I actually had a look at wikipedia to see how many different versions of 'mothers day' at different dates for historic reasons. I did however mean that yesterday was Mothers Day for Switzerland and many other countries, but not in the UK (Hence why I couldn't wish the predominantly UK based ballet fans here 'happy mothers day' 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melody Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 (edited) We used to get into trouble with my mother in law every year because we didn't send her a Mothers Day card till May. We kept trying to explain that they weren't available in March because Easter hadn't happened yet, but it never seemed to work; she always thought it was some sort of intentional insult until she got her card in May, and then she was pleased. But we went though this performance year after year... Edited May 17, 2017 by Melody 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
