In UK we celebrate motherhood on the 4th Sunday in Lent, it is called Mothering Sunday. As a child in the county of Devon in the South Hams region, I remember picking wild flowers, always violets and primroses to make up little posies on the Saturday afternoon. We took these to the parish church on Sunday morning and placed them on a table. During the service every child went to the altar steps to be given a posy which we then presented to our mother, grandmother, etc. Women without their family present were also given a posy. I was baptised and confirmed in the Church of England.
