What a lovely photo!!!
I am glad you like it
You know of course that Mother’s Day was (before the protestant Henry 8 took over as Head of the church in England) a very old Catholic ’special’ day – Mothering Sunday. That was actually nothing to do with mothers but referred to the ‘home’ Church of individuals; the parish in which they were born. Their ‘mother church’ place.

This is a wonderful picture. (our Mothers day is the second Sunday of Mai)
I am glad you like the picture.
Our Mother’s Day is connected with the Church calendar. As Amfortas mentioned in his comment when King Henry decided to break from the Church of Rome, declaring himself Head of the Church of England (just so he could get his own way) the tradition of ‘Mothering Sunday’ changed.
