Why is Mother’s Day different in the UK?

In order to understand why Mother’s Day is different in the UK, we need to explore the history of Mother’s Day.

Originally known as Mothering Sunday, the day was created to give people a day off from work to visit their mothers, who they had likely moved away from to find work. The day wasn’t given a specific date, but instead occurs on the fourth Sunday of Lent. Since the date of Lent changes every year, so does the date of Mother’s Day.

American Mother’s Day was formed much later in an attempt to establish regular holidays after the Civil War in the 19th century. This is why Mother’s Day in the US falls on the second Sunday in May.
