When is Mother's Day in Ireland?

Heritage Partner Comment by Totally Irish Gifts on March 3, 2015 at 8:53am

Hi Gerry, Mother's Day in Ireland is Sunday 15th March (4th Sunday of Lent - I always think it's unfair to have Mother's Day in the middle of Lent!!).  Mother's Day falls on different days for many countries around the world, UK is the same as Ireland, but USA and Australia is the 2nd Sunday in May, this year = 10th May.

Tip from my own mother's experience: for our Irish Diaspora around the world - for those lucky to still have a mother alive and kicking in Ireland, it is the Mother's Day in Ireland that is important to your Mum; better still treat her twice - your Mum's worth it!!

thank you for sharing this beautiful story. I have never heard it before and just loved it. My brother and his wife are expecting their third child in another month or so and this story touched my heart. I will have to share it with them.
