Why is Father's Day celebrated?
Father's Day is celebrated to honor the role that fathers play in the lives of their children. It is a day to recognize the importance of fathers and to celebrate their contributions to society.
The origins of Father's Day can be traced back to the early 20th century. In 1908, Sonora Dodd, a woman from Washington state, proposed the idea of a national holiday to honor fathers. Dodd's father was a Civil War veteran who raised six children on his own after his wife died. Dodd felt that fathers deserved a day to be celebrated, just like mothers.
In 1924, President Calvin Coolidge recommended that Father's Day be celebrated on the third Sunday of June. However, it was not until 1972 that Father's Day was officially recognized as a national holiday in the United States.
Today, Father's Day is celebrated in many countries around the world. It is a day to honor fathers and to celebrate the important role that they play in the lives of their children.
