Mothering Sunday
In Great Britain there is a very nice tradition. It is called Mothering Sunday. This holiday is celebrated on the second Sunday in May and is very popular not only in England, but also in the United States of America.
The history of this tradition goes in old days in England. When village girls worked in the houses of rich people in town, they had only one day off a week. Usually it was Monday. The girls missed their families and mothers who stayed at their native homes and wanted to visit them.
Kind masters gave one more day for the girls to go and visit their mothers in the village. Traditionally it was the second Sunday in May. The girls went to their villages, met their relatives and helped the mothers about the house.
At presents on Mother's Day people visit their mothers, if possible, give them flowers and small presents. If they cannot come, they send "A Mother's Day Card". The families try to give the mother little rest on this day. Sometimes the father and the children cook breakfast. They help with cooking some other meals and do the washing up.
On Mother's Day the children say "thank you" to their mothers for taking care of them during the whole year. They give the holiday card to the mother and a little present — some flowers or a box of sweets.
