Easter is a lunar holiday...its date is determined by the phase of the moon.... http://
Dates for holidays such as Mother's Day vary from country to country... ie: three weeks before Easter Sunday in the UK, second Sunday in May in the US. A government body such as Congress will usually decide the date...possibly based on tradition...and a law will be passed... http://

>>>Mothers Day is determined by the media and shopping centres
Not in the UK, Seekerz. It's still determined by the Church calendar, being the 4th Sunday in Lent:

However I so remember buying a Father's Day card in Adelaide (because all of the card shops were advertising it as being in the near future) and sending it to my dad, who was left confused as the Aussie Father's Day is nowhere near to the UK one!

Distinct difference between Mothers Day and Mothering Sunday, Chris !!
we've never had the latter here in Oz, but I can well believe the church has a hand in deciding the day ....oh's mother got very confused when I mistakenly sent her flowers for our Mother's Day (which isn't all that far away from the "fourth Sunday")
Thinking about it ...isn't that rather close to Holy Week ?? seems odd for it be that close !!
