Mothering Sunday 2010

The Dean of Westminster, the Very Revd John Hall, receives a simnel cake from the priest and people of St Matthew's Westminster, a daughter church of the Abbey, as a gift to their "Mother Church" on Mothering Sunday. Some of the congregation walked to the abbey after morning mass. Simnel cakes are just one of the many customs of Laetare Sunday in Lent.
