Mothers Day is an american card manufacturers invention.
We celebrate Mothering Sunday which is a church holiday originally made popular by the Victorians who let the female servants of the house have an extra sunday off during Lent to go to their own home church & visit family.
Just thought I'd share, as yet again I rifle through hundred of cards looking for a "Mothering Sunday " one!!
