History of Mother's day in Ireland

The history of celebrating Mother's Day in Ireland can be traced to medieval times where children from poor families were sent to work as domestic servants and apprentices in rich homes.
Once a year, in the middle of the Lent, the children were given one day off to visit their 'Mother Church' and worship the Virgin Mary at special masses which would be held in honour of Mary, the Mother of Christ.
After visiting the Mother Church or Cathedral of their home town these children visited their mothers and presented them with flowers they picked along the way.
The practice died out in Ireland around the late 18th century but was revived - with help from the Americans - after World War II.

Mother's day is a day when we spoil our Mums.  When we remind them of how much we care about them.  Its their special day, mother's day a day to celebrate all our fantastic mums.
