I've always known the Fourth Sunday of Lent as Laetare Sunday, the halfway point in Lent where priests wear rose-colored vestments and the kids know they're halfway through their annual agony of giving up candy.... |

It used to be when children (especially young girls working 'in service' in large houses) would take gifts, especially flowers to their mothers. We have a care home gig that day and are compiling a set list! |

27 Feb 18 - 11:02 AM (#3908341) Subject: RE: Music for Mothering Sunday? From: CupOfTea Mothering Sunday is on a suite of songs on the album Sedgefield Fair: More?-?or?-?less traditional songs from England & Scotland by Jane Peppler (piano by Jacqueline Schwab) mentioned as "Learned from the Oxford Book of Carols" with these lyrics: It is the day of all the year, of all the year the one day That I shall see my mother dear and bring her cheer a mothering on Sunday So I'll put on my Sunday coat and in my hat a feather And get the lines I writ by note with many a note that I've a-strung together And now to fetch my wheaten cake, to fetch it from the baker He promised me for mother's sake, the best he'd bake for me to fetch and take her My sister Jane is waiting maid along with Squire's lady And year by year her part she's played, and home she's stayed to get the dinner ready For mother comes to church, you see, of all the year it's the day "The one," she'll say, "that's made for me!" And so it be - it's every mother's free day The boys will all come home from town, not one will miss that one day And every maid will bustle down to show her gown, a-mothering on Sunday It is the day of all the year, of all the year the one day And here come I, my mother dear, to bring you cheer a-mothering on Sunday That's where I heard about Mothering Sunday, which was never going to be a holiday for me, having spent most of my life motherless.
