“Mother’s Day is celebrated in UK every March. In the UK, the date is linked to Easter, which is different each year as it is determined by the lunar calendar.
The UK’s Mother’s Day always falls on the fourth Sunday during the period of Lent.
“Mothers’ Day in the US is an annual holiday held on the second Sunday in May, so the date slightly varies each year.
“Known by its religious name, Mothering Sunday, it has become more commercialised over the years.
“In Nigeria, we combine the traditions of the UK and US and celebrate our Mothers twice a year because they are very special.
Mothers, there’s simply no one else like you. Happy Amazing Mother’s Day to all women.”
