It is usually celebrated by English-speaking countries such as the United Kingdom, Nigeria, Ireland amongst many others.
Some people believe that ”Mothering Sunday” had nothing to do with celebrating mothers during its inception in the 17th century but to return to their home ‘mother’ church for baptism.
The highlight of the doodle is the large smiling sunflower, which signifies the love and bond between a mother and child. The sunflower smiles down at its three little seeds.
Happy Mothering Sunday!
