Mothering Sunday

Mothering Sunday, or Mother’s Day, is a holiday for all mothers in Great Britain. English people celebrate this holiday on the fourth Sunday in Lent. It is in March. On this day sons and daughters visit their mothers and bring them flowers and little presents. The eldest son must bring his mother a good cake. If sons or daughters can’t be with their mother on that day, they usually send her beautiful postcards.

On Mother’s Day the mother of the family does not work at home, so her daughters make dinner and lay the table. Sons help to wash up after dinner.
