When is Mother's Day (Mothering Sunday) 2031 in United Kingdom?

Mother's Day originated in the United States when Anna Jarvis held a memorial for her mother in 1908. She then campaigned for a national holiday, which was officially established in 1914 by President Woodrow Wilson. The tradition spread globally, though many countries celebrate on different dates based on their own cultural traditions.

Common traditions include giving cards, flowers (especially carnations), and gifts to mothers. Many families prepare special meals or take mothers out to restaurants. Children often make handmade cards at school, and it's one of the busiest days for restaurants and florists.

In the US, Canada, and Australia, Mother's Day falls on the second Sunday of May. The UK celebrates on Mothering Sunday, which is the fourth Sunday of Lent (usually in March). Other countries have their own fixed or variable dates.
