It's #MotheringSunday in the UK. But every day should be #MothersDay! We remember that #Antinous truly lived. He is not a myth or a legend. He had a mother.

Time for a #CupOfTeaSocial #QuizQuestion? Why yes, it is! In many parts of the world (the UK being one) today is Mothering Sunday. Unlike the US holiday of Mother's Day (which dates back to the early 20th century), Mothering Sunday has roots in the Christian church of the Middle Ages and in its original form it had nothing to do with your own mother (lovely though I'm sure she is).

Here's the question: to what does the Mother part of Mothering Sunday refer?

Answers in the #poll below, spoiler-filled replies and discussion more than welcome but please stick them behind a CW.

Chatting to my mum and sister today and the subject of what they (as mothers) would hope for in their children came up.

They both agreed: interesting, generous, individual and kind.

And it struck me that if I ever set up a school, I’d want those as the guiding values.

It's Mothering Sunday (Mother's Day) today in the UK.
It's always been complicated for me, 4 lovely children but 7 miscarriages, and always having had a difficult and complicated relationship with my mother.
But this year is the first year without her.

I'm listening to this, as it's Mothering Sunday (Mother's Day) in the UK.
I might watch the film next. Has anyone seen it?
Traditionally, maids were released from service on this day so they could go and see their mothers.

Today is Laetare Sunday, or Refreshment Sunday, where we traditionally relax our Lenten fast for the day. It's also Mothering Sunday.

Modern technology can be great. My daughter ordered me a takeaway breakfast to collect in the U.K. from her phone in Japan. It’s Mothering Sunday/Mother’s Day here in the U.K. #MothersDay #motheringsunday

It's not #MothersDay it's #MotheringSunday.
