Fr. Conor McDonough, O.P., a Dominican friar based in Dublin, Ireland, discussed the history of 'Mothering Sunday,' observed during Lent, with Fox News Digital.
While Mother's Day in the United States is celebrated each year in May, for the United Kingdom, Ireland and parts of the Commonwealth, Mother's Day, or 'Mothering Sunday,' is held during the Fourth Sunday of Lent. Mothering Sunday 'is a day for people of all ages to thank their mothers for giving them life and love,' Fr. Conor McDonough O.P., a Dominican friar based in St. Saviour's Priory, Dublin, told Fox News Digital.
The book had 'chapters exploring various facets of mothering: ‘The Church – Our Mother’; ‘Mothers of Earthly Homes’; ‘The Mother of Jesus’; and ‘Gifts of Mother Earth,'' said the British Library. Smith aimed to show that there was already an international tradition of honoring mothers of all types on the 4th Sunday in Lent, and this only needed to be strengthened through official recognition,' said the same source.
