Mothering Sunday is a time to celebrate with special remembrances in e-mails, long-distance phone calls, a special serving of breakfast in bed, or a dinner out on the town, along with flowers and hand made greeting cards just for Mum.

The modern version of Mothering Sunday has its roots in the 19th century, when domestic help were allowed a day off each year (traditionally the fourth Sunday in Lent) to visit home, mother and family. A special presentation of a Simnel cake was the tradition, although today the fruit-filled cake is also commonly served at Easter.

While in the past Mothering Sunday beared little connection to the American Mother's Day it has now become more widely referred to as "Mothers Day" throughout Great Britain — and the sentiment is certainly the same!

In 2010, Mothering Sunday falls on March 14.
