The second Sunday of May is celebrated as Mother's Day in the US and many other countries around the world. The United Kingdom, however, celebrates the day on the fourth Sunday in Lent, which is also known as the Mothering Sunday.

Mother's Day celebrations started in the early years of the 20<sup>th century following Anna Jarvis's efforts to honour the love and sacrifice made by every mother to raise her family. The special day is celebrated by people around the world to say "thank you" to their mothers by gifting them flowers, sending cards and even making their day special by arranging a beautiful date especially with them.

But those special gestures can always do with some special quotes and messages to make them extra-special. Keeping this in mind, IBTimes UK has compiled a list of quotes and messages to share with your mother.
