Today is Mothering Sunday, or Mother's Day, as celebrated in the UK and Ireland. Other countries also celebrate Mother's Day but during the Summer later on. Today is also the day which is the fourth after Lent. All this we have to be thankful and appreciate our mothers and grandmothers, whether biological, adopted or simply a role model, a nurturing mother is a gift.
We can also thank the lady Constance Adelaide Smith for if it wasn't for her, we wouldn't have a Mother's Day. She wanted a special day honouring mothers, and she revived the modern version of a Medieval observation. Constance wanted to recognise the Virgin Mother, Mother Nature and all "mothers of earthly homes".
Happy Mothering Sunday!
