In United Kingdom and Ireland, Mother´s day or "Mothering Sunday" is held on the fourth Sunday of Lent. It is exactly three weeks before Easter Sunday and usually falls in the second half of March or the biginning of April.
In lots of countries (United States, Italy, Germany, Greece, Chile, Brazil, Finland...) it is celebrated on the second Sunday of May.
But here, in Spain or other countries, such as Portugal, Romania, Hungary, Lithuania or Mozambique, the celebration of Mother´s day is on the first Sunday of May.
Mothering Sunday is a celebration of motherhood, a day to honour mothers and other mother figures such as grandmothers, stepmothers and mothers-in-law.
Sons and daughters give cards and gifts to their mothers
These gifts usually are cakes, flowers, chocolates, jewelry or beautiful clothes and they take their mother or grandmother to have a special meal, sometimes to a restaurant.
