The Tradition of Mothering Sunday Cakes of Wonderland By Charlotte Benton Mother’s Day Afternoon Teas available please see Facebook/Instagram for details - Limited Availability. Whilst we dearly cherish them all year round, Mother’s Day is often regarded as the one day of the year in which matriarchal roles are reversed - where Mum’s are served breakfast in bed and are treated to a day off from their usual motherhood duties. This year, Mother’s Day will be celebrated on Sunday 14th March. The significance of Mother’s Day serves as a special day to honour mothers and motherhood, acknowledging their hard work that encompasses every day of the year. I bet you are wondering where this celebration originated from? Celebrations of motherhood can be traced all the way back to the Ancient Greeks and Romans, who held festivals in honour of the mother goddesses, Rhea and Cybele. However, the early Christian festival, known as Mothering Sunday, is the clearest modern precedent of what we celebrate today as Mother’s Day and can be traced back to the 17th century. The celebration of Mothering Sunday traditionally fell on the fourth Sunday in Lent and was originally seen as a time when the faithful would visit their ‘mother church’, this being the main church in their local area, for a special service. Gradually the tradition of Mothering Sunday has shifted towards a more secular holiday in which children present their parent with gifts that illustrate a token of their appreciation, such as chocolates and flowers. Families also often celebrate by giving mothers a day off from the everyday activities that the traditional notion of motherhood entails! Versions of Mother’s Day are celebrated worldwide, with traditions varying between countries. In Thailand, Mother’s Day is always celebrated in August on the birthday of the country’s current queen, Sirikit; in Ethiopia, Mother’s Day traditions involve families gathering together in autumn to sing songs and eat a large feast as part of a multi-day celebration; whilst in the United States homage is paid to mothers in May.
