Why Celebrate Mother’s Day Just Once a Year?

Surely she deserves a standing ovation every single day! However, having one official day allows us to stop, reflect, and truly spoil the women who raised us.

A Quick History Lesson

Did you know the modern tradition started with Anna Jarvis in 1905? Following her mother’s passing, she campaigned for a formal holiday—originally envisioned as a day of peace and an anti-war movement.

In the UK, the roots go back even further to the 17th century. Mothering Sunday was traditionally a time to visit your "mother" church. The day was synonymous with:

  • Simnel Cake: A rich fruit cake topped with marzipan.

  • Carnations: The official flower of the day, symbolizing purity, faith, love, beauty, and charity.


Mark Your 2026 Calendar!

Don't let the date sneak up on you. Because the UK and the rest of the world follow different calendars, here is your 2026 cheat sheet:

Region 2026 Date Rule of Thumb
