Mother's Day in
Ireland falls on the last Sunday of March, unlike the American Mother's Day,
which is held in May.
The Irish Mother's
Day stems from the mid-lent Sunday, when the Church gave the faithful a break
from the strict adherence to lent (though in Ireland this has been transferred
to St Patrick's Day).
Traditionally, on
Mother's Day, special masses would be held in the Mother Church of the diocese
or in honour of the Mary, Mother of Christ.Nowadays in Ireland, Mother's Day is
celebrated with cards and gifts and held as a special day for mothers. Why not
treat your mother to a trip to the ‘auld country' this Mother's Day?
