The origin of Mother's Day:

Mother's Day began during the middle ages in Europe as "Mothering Sunday". During this time a young person would leave their home to learn their trade as an apprentice. A few weeks before Easter celebrations many of these young people would return to their homes and families. This was known as "going a-mothering." Upon the Sunday after their return the family would go to church and offer gifts to both their mothers and the church. This day became known as Mothering Sunday. This tradition has endured to become Mother's Day.

Today, Mother's Day is celebrated in the United States on the second Sunday in May. Mother's Day has become an international holiday when we honor all the mothers in our lives with love, gratitude, respect and delicious cakes and cookies from French's Cupcake Bakery.
