Mothering Sunday & 4th Sunday of Lent

  • Wesley Memorial Methodist Church The Crescent, 557 Durham Rd Gateshead NE9 5EY United Kingdom (map)

Come & celebrate the Mothers who have guided us through the journey of life.

Led by Rev Richard Firth who will be baptising Emmie Louise.

Mothers Day is the fourth Sunday in Lent and was also known as Refreshment Sunday because the fasting rules for Lent were relaxed that day.

It has become a time for family reunions over a meal. The Simnel Cake is especially associated with Mothering Sunday. There's a legend that a man called Simon and his wife Nell argued over whether the cake for Mothering Sunday should be baked or boiled. In the end they did both, so the cake was named after both of them: SIM-NELL
