How the date of Mothering Sunday is set
Mothering Sunday is the fourth Sunday of Lent, which is always 21 days before Easter Sunday. Easter can fall between March 22 and April 25, so Mothering Sunday falls between March 1 and April 4.
It began as the day people visited their "mother church". It has become the UK and Irish Mother's Day, and is often called Mother's Day there.

Frequently asked questions
What day of the week is Mothering Sunday 2027?
Mothering Sunday 2027 is on Sunday, March 7, 2027. In 2028 it falls on Sunday, March 26, 2028.
Why does Mothering Sunday move every year?
Because it is tied to Easter, which depends on the first full moon of spring. When Easter moves, Mothering Sunday moves with it, always three weeks before.
Is Mothering Sunday the same as Mother's Day?
In the UK and Ireland, yes, people use both names for the same day. In the US, Mother's Day is the second Sunday of May.
Why does the live clock show one day less than the days count?
The days count is calendar days: tomorrow is 1 day away. The clock counts real time to midnight at the start of Mothering Sunday, so with Mothering Sunday two days away it shows 1 day and some hours. Both are right; they answer slightly different questions.
