In 2027 it will be on March 7th. Strangely, originally not about Mothers! Mothering Sunday is the 4th Sunday in Lent.  It is, in fact the  day in which we are enjoined to visit our Mother Churches. It, therefore, became a day when people made processions to their Churches.&nbsp; Servants and workers could go to their home parishes. But not only go to the Mother Church but also to say hello to their mothers. So, it became increasingly about Mothers.  It was called Mothering Sunday when I was little and  has morphed into the Americanism that is Mother&#8217;s Day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In Church the Reading is often  <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Isaiah_66\">Isaiah 66<\/a>:10\u201311<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>&#8216;Rejoice ye with Jerusalem; and be ye glad for her, all ye that delight in her: exult and sing for joy with her, all ye that in sadness mourn for her; that ye may suck, and be satisfied with the breasts of her consolations.<\/em>&#8216;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jerusalem is personified, here, as the Mother. Further associations with motherhood came from the Gospel for the day which is <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/John_6\">John 6<\/a>:1\u201314, the story of the <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Feeding_of_the_Five_Thousand\">Feeding of the Five Thousand<\/a>, which led to associations with the bounty of Mother Earth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the medieval period visits to the Mother Church seem to have become fiercely competitive. The Bishop of Lincoln, Robert Grosseteste decreed: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8216;<em>In each and every church you should strictly prohibit one parish from fighting with another over whose banners should come first in processions at the time of the annual visitation and veneration of the mother church. [\u2026] Those who dishonour their spiritual mother should not at all escape punishment, when those who dishonour their fleshly mothers are, in accordance with God&#8217;s law, cursed and punished with death.<\/em>&#8216;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Letter 22.7 &#8211; Wikipedia)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Simnel Cake<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It was also the Sunday in the fasting period of Lent in which the restrictions were relaxed. So a special cake called Simnel Cake was made for the purpose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>I&#8217;ll to thee a Simnel bring<br>&#8216;Gainst thou goest a-Mothering<br>So that, when she blesseth thee<br>Half that blessing thou&#8217;lt give me.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Herrick Hesperides 1647<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.chr.org.uk\/anddidthosefeet\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Simnel_cake_slice_James-Petts-from-London-England-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3307\" style=\"width:515px;height:686px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/chr.org.uk\/anddidthosefeet\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Simnel_cake_slice_James-Petts-from-London-England-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/chr.org.uk\/anddidthosefeet\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Simnel_cake_slice_James-Petts-from-London-England-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/chr.org.uk\/anddidthosefeet\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Simnel_cake_slice_James-Petts-from-London-England.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 767px) 89vw, (max-width: 1000px) 54vw, (max-width: 1071px) 543px, 580px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/people\/14730981@N08\">James Petts<\/a> from London, England &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/14730981@N08\/7099875159\/\">Simnel cake <\/a>(wikipedia<br>Easter 2012<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>The Simnel cake is a fine flour light fruit cake (Latin <em>simila<\/em>, fine flour), with layers of marzipan in it.
