How often does May 14 fall on Mother's day?

Answer 1

There is a pattern by which May 14 lands on a Mother's Day, in that, because of Leap Year, its frequency is set as follows: Our next Mother's Day will be on May 14 is 2017. Previously, it was in 2006, 2000, 1995, 1989, then 1978, and so on. So, the pattern is as follows for every 28 years: 1st (meaning present year that Mother's Day would be on May 14), 6th, 5th, 6th, then 11th year. If it wasn't for Leap Years, we would have every 7 years of May 14 landing on Mother's Day.

Answer 2

I was born on Mother's day in 1966, and it's only happened now three times if I'm correct. I always figured it was every 30 years, but because of leap years it ends up being 28. Another cool fact, it's also the day that Israel became a nation in 1948?

Answer 3

It can't fall on the 15th. In the U.S., Mother's Day is the second Sunday of May. It can fall anywhere between the 8th & the 14th of May. 1st = Mon then Mother's day = 14th. 1st=Tues then it's the 13th. so on until May 1st on Sun = Mother's Day on 8th

Answer 4

The last occurrance was in 2006. Mother's Day can never be after May 14, nor before May 8 of any year here in the US. Because of Leap Year occurrances, the pattern, which occurs over a 20 year period, is as follows: 0th (present years), 6th, 5th, 6, then 11th year. The next Mother's Day that will land on May 14, will be in 2017.

Answer 5

In the U.K. , mother's day NEVER falls on 14th May.

In the U.K. Mother's Day is the 4th Sunday in Lent.

Lent is a removable Christian Period. The first day of Lent is Ash Wednesday, the 4th Sunday is Mother's Day, 5th Sunday, is Passion Sunday, 6th Sunday is Palm Sunday, the next Sunday is Easter Day.

Easter Day is moves annually, and is set by the Moon's phase of the Vernal Equinox (21st March). Easter can fall between 22nd March , and 25th April. Hence all the previous Sunday's , in Lent, to Easter move too!!!! So it follows that Mother's Day in U.K. moves over a five week period.
