In the UK, March is the time families regularly come together to celebrate Mother's Day - a day dedicated to honouring and appreciating the remarkable women who have shaped our lives in countless ways. This special occasion is a time to reflect on the love, sacrifice, and unwavering support that mothers provide, often without expecting anything in return.

Mother's Day, celebrated in the UK on the fourth Sunday of Lent, is a heartfelt occasion that honours mothers and mother figures, recognising their invaluable contributions to families and society.

In 2025, this day will fall on March 10th. The celebration, rooted in Christian traditions, has evolved into a secular holiday that emphasises gratitude, love, and appreciation for mothers.

Motherhood is a journey filled with challenges and triumphs. From the moment a woman discovers she is expecting, her life is forever changed. Throughout the ups and downs of pregnancy, childbirth, and raising a child, mothers display unmatched strength and resilience. They are the pillars of support that hold families together, offering comfort, guidance, and unconditional love every step of the way.

The origins of Mother's Day in the UK can be traced back to the 16th century when it was known as "Mothering Sunday." Traditionally, it was a day when people returned to their "mother church" for a service, and over time, it became an opportunity for families to reunite and honour their mothers. This day was often marked by the giving of gifts, flowers, and special meals, a practice that continues to this day.
