“They who go a-mothering find violets in the lane.” Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of the Peninsula

As we celebrate this Mother’s Day, a secular holiday thanks to Anna Jarvis, her mother Ann Reeves Jarvis and the Unitarian Julia Ward Howe, let’s consider the older religious holiday of “Mothering Sunday”, a day to visit the church of one’s baptism, to take a break from Lenten fasting, and to gather violets for children to give to their mothers.
We’ll also celebrate the very successful conclusion of this year’s Canvass!
