When is Mother's Day in Ireland?
In 2025, Mother's Day in Ireland will be celebrated on Sunday, March 30th. This day is marked on the calendar as a time to spoil and pamper the incredible women dedicated to raising and nurturing their children and stepchildren. It is a day for families to come together and make their mothers feel cherished and loved.
The date for Mother's Day, or Mothering Sunday, varies in Ireland because it is linked to the Christian liturgical calendar. Specifically, it is celebrated on the fourth Sunday of Lent. Since Lent is 40 days (excluding Sundays) leading up to Easter, and the date of Easter changes each year, Mother's Day also changes accordingly.
Mother's Day in Ireland is a special time to show your appreciation for the women who have raised and nurtured us. With Mother's Day just around the corner, it's time to start thinking about how to make the day extra special for the mothers in our lives.
