Happy Mother’s Day – Sunday 14th March

Mothering Sunday is a day honouring mothers and mother churches everywhere. It is celebrated in the UK and elsewhere in the English-speaking world.

Mothers Day has fallen on the fourth Sunday in Lent since the Middle Ages.  It is exactly 21 days before Easter Sunday.  It is also known as Laetare Sunday, Refreshment Sunday and Rose Sunday.

The Romans also celebrated a Mother Goddess, Cybele, every March as far back as 250BC.

Mothering Buns

Mother’s Day has an association with the story of the Feeding of the Five Thousand and the reprieve from fasting, therefore cakes and buns have long been made to celebrate.
Simnel cake is the most familiar and popular all the way through to Easter.  Popular in Bristol and other places are Mothering Buns: plain yeast-leavened buns, iced, and sprinkled with hundreds and thousands.  Also easy for children to decorate. Best eaten for breakfast on that day.

If you are able, treat your Mum, Step Mum, Granny, Nan, Pseudo Mum, Adoptive Mum, Single Mum – we are all amazing!
