Mothering Sunday: back to basics It’s Mothering Sunday on 14th March – this Sunday week. And the first thing to do is to get the name right. No, it is not ‘Mother’s Day’. Mother’s Day took off in the USA early last century as a national celebration, not of motherhood in general but of individual mothers by their own families. But in England the correct name is Mothering Sunday, which originally meant something quite different. Sadly, like the American grey squirrel pushing out our native red, ‘Mother’s Day’ seems to be sweeping all before it. But it’s terribly important to go back to basics, and reclaim Mothering Sunday and all it stands for. At least we haven’t adopted the American date – the second Sunday in May. We still use the traditional fourth Sunday of Lent, which is also known as Refreshment Sunday, or Midlenting Day. It all began in the middle ages as a day-off from the rigours of Lent, in honour of the Virgin Mary. The practice developed of giving people time off to celebrate this holy day (‘holiday’) to visit their Mother Church – the cathedral, or their own family parish church. For those working away, this brought an opportunity to make a rare and fleeting visit home – picking a nosegay of wildflowers for mum on the way. And so the seeds were sown

Our Loose Canon...
with Canon Eric Woods DL
of today’s version of the celebration. Yet Mothering Sunday can be a bitter day for many people – those mothers and children who are estranged from one another, and the childless, the single and the divorced. In fact for anyone who doesn’t live in a warm, united and loving family. So perhaps we need to be honest and admit that as a nation we are in a muddle about how to build good and lasting relationships, and not let Mothering Sunday be another divisive occasion. Personally, I believe that Mothering Sunday can still have a meaning for everyone if we see it as a chance to celebrate what The Queen in her 2012 Diamond Jubilee message called ‘the power of togetherness’. She said this: “In this special year, as I dedicate myself anew to your service, I hope we will all be reminded of the power of togetherness and the convening strength of family, friendship and good neighbourliness.” For all sorts of reasons, those words have a special resonance in 2021.
