The Development of Mother's Day in Britain
In17th century England, in order to show respect for English mothers, the fourth Sunday of Lent was designated as "Mothering Sunday", on which people went home to visit their parents and pay their respects. (Note: Lent means 40 days before Easter Eve, except Sunday). At that time, many poor people had to help the rich make a living and were forced to leave home to stay with their masters. On Mothering Sunday, the host will give them a holiday and encourage them to go home and reunite with their mother. In order to increase the joyful atmosphere, a special cake called "Mother Cake" was also developed. With the spread of Christ in Europe, this festival has become a reverence for the "mother church": to express people's gratitude for the spiritual power that gives them life and protects them from harm. Since then, church ceremonies have been combined with mother's day celebrations, and at the same time, people's feelings for their mothers and the church have been conveyed.
