Mothering Sunday was the day when people gathered to worship in the mother church of their district, especially in the Cathedral Church of the diocese; and it was the day when the apprentice boys of the guilds, the girls at service, and all engaged in work away fiom home, were given a holiday to take presents to their mothers. The reunited families went together to the church and sat there as N they had sat before they were dispersed. There is a growing movement in the Anglican Church for the revival of the old festival in both church and home to be observed on the Sunday in the middle of Lent. It is called the Mothering Sunday Movement.
