Traditionally, Mothering Sunday is the day when people would return to their ‘mother’ church where they were baptised.
Held on the fourth Sunday in Lent, exactly three weeks before Easter Sunday, the day is now called Mother’s Day and celebrates those who mother us.
It could be your mum, but it could be an auntie, gran or childminder.
We asked for your pictures and tributes to your mums.
Thank you for sharing your love for your mums with us.
1. Paying tribute to your mum on Mother’s Day
Kev Rowlatt says: "Mum was diagnosed last May with stage 4 bowel cancer. Throughout all this she has kept her beautiful smile and strength, and supported the family in all that we’ve been through. She’s had numerous hospital admissions to Kettering General and still comes out fighting. ! She's a total inspiration!" Photo: UGC
2. Paying tribute to your mum on Mother’s Day
Zoe Cook says: "My beautiful mum. She was the rock of the family and my best friend. The best nanna I could have asked for my child. She helped me to be the best mother I could be. Sadly we lost her and my daughter but even in her passing I know she will be looking after my child because my mum was the most caring, understanding and loving person. I miss her so much."
