How the date works
In the US, Canada, Australia and many other countries, Mother’s Day is the second Sunday of May, so it falls between May 8 and May 14.
In the UK and Ireland, Mothering Sunday is the fourth Sunday of Lent, three weeks before Easter Sunday. It moves with Easter, between March 1 and April 4.
Other countries use different dates. For example Mexico celebrates on May 10 every year and France on the last Sunday of May (or first Sunday of June if it clashes with Pentecost).
If you are posting a card or gift abroad, check which date the recipient’s country uses.
