Mothering Sunday and Cybele

[edit]

Actually, contrary to the above statement, Mothering Sunday IS "mothers day" as we know it today. It was where the tradition originally started. Many christian people, not just priests and such, would return to their mother church on this day. Some of them would pick flowers in the church yard and go visit their mother. Hence, the first Mothers day GIFTS as well.

However, that is not my purpose here. There is a mistake on the page. The Greeks who worshipped Cybele were NOT a cult, it was a more Pagan-style religion. Only a Christian would call Pagans (and other religions) a "cult", or even a devil-worshipper. Please fix this.

[edit]

Mother's Day should be changed to Mothering Sunday, also know as Refreshment Sunday or mid Lent Sunday, as this is the correct term for the fourth Sunday in Lent. 148.252.129.92 (talk) 16:46, 30 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
