The origins of Mother's Day:

The first celebrations of motherhood date back to Antiquity, in Greece where festivities were organized in honor of the Greek mother goddesses. Subsequently, the marital cult honors the Mother of Christ, symbol of purity and maternal ideal.

At the end of the 15th century, Mothering Sunday was celebrated by Christians in the United Kingdom and Ireland on the fourth Sunday of Lent. On this occasion, the young girls offered a simnel cake to their mother, decorated with eleven balls of dough which is today the pastry traditionally eaten for Easter in the English-speaking world.

In the 19th century, the celebration became American Mother's Day. Created by Anna Jarvis at the beginning of the 20th century, following the death of her mother, she wanted to honor motherhood. But it was not until 1914 that the government created a holiday reserved for mothers.

During the 20th century, Mother's Day became secular and internationalized. Its celebration takes place at different times of the year, depending on the regions of the world and the calendars.

In England, this feast takes place on the fourth Sunday of the Christian tradition of Lent. The simnel cake, a fruit and marzipan cake, is always concocted by children.

In the United States, Mother's Day is celebrated on the second Sunday in May. Very popular, Americans celebrate this day with the family in the morning around a breakfast in bed, by offering a bouquet of flowers or by inviting their mother to the restaurant.

In the UK: Happy Mother’s Day:

This day is celebrated on the fourth Sunday of Lent (Catholic holiday), that is to say around mid-March. It is called “Mothering Sunday”. Originally, this day was the right time to meet with family in his "mother church", the church of his childhood.

The children had a tradition of collecting wildflowers to bring back to their mother.

Moreover, in these traditions, the girls (nowadays, it is obvious that the boys take part in it?) prepare a typical cake of this day: the “mothering cake” or the “Simmel cake”.
