Comments on: Happy Mother’s Day :-) http://www.cheriesplace.me.uk/blog/index.php/2015/03/15/happy-mothers-day-2/ Random thoughts and photos of my journey through life… Tue, 14 Jul 2026 00:56:52 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: CherryPie http://www.cheriesplace.me.uk/blog/index.php/2015/03/15/happy-mothers-day-2/comment-page-1/#comment-40269 CherryPie Sun, 15 Mar 2015 23:21:25 +0000 http://www.cheriesplace.me.uk/blog/?p=15237#comment-40269 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. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/religion/9918148/The-true-origins-of-Mothering-Sunday.html I am sure Amfortas can provide a better link to explain the history :-) I am glad you like the picture.
