The tragic story behind Mother's Day - World - CBC News: "Mother’s Day, which falls this year on May 8, is meant to be a joyous event, but the story behind this greeting-card occasion is actually quite tragic.
The concept dates back to the 1600s in England. Taking place on the fourth Sunday of Lent, “Mothering Sunday” was an annual opportunity for Christians to visit their hometown church. It slowly evolved, as children working far away as domestic servants came back home to spend time with their mothers and family."
