In the United Kingdom, the date is linked to Easter, which is different each year as it is determined by the lunar calendar. The United Kingdom's Mother's Day always falls on the fourth Sunday during the period of Lent, when people typically give up things like certain foods or bad habits for the days leading up to Easter.
Also, March 25, the Feast of the Annunciation, when the Angel Gabriel informed Mary that she would conceive Mary, was the first day of the civil year in Britain until the adoption of the Calendar Act of 1750.
In some Catholic countries, Mother's Day is celebrated on December 8, the Feast of the Immaculate Conception. In the United States, it is observed in May. Different places, different rules.

Because the britfags lost so many men getting completely destroyed/reamed/obliterated by the colonial rebels during the revolutionary war that they had to celebrate something early to compensate for all the mourning.
Very close minded fool - typical useless skinbag britfag. It is obvious that you don't even know any other countries.
