Father’s Day is a world-wide celebration and signifies the paternal contribution made by fathers and father figures for their children. It is observed by 40+ countries on different dates and honors fatherhood at its best.
In many countries including US, UK, Japan, Indian, Sri Lanka, France etc., Fathers Day will be celebrated on 19th June aka 100th Anniversary.
HOW IT ALL STARTED?
It all began in 1909 when a young woman, Sonora Smart Dodd, wanted to honor her father, William Jackson Smart. Living in Spokane, Washington, one day she was in church listening to a sermon regarding Mother’s Day when she decided there must be a day dedicated for her father.
Her mother died after she was born due to child-birth and William, who was a Civil War veteran, singlehandedly raised her along with 5 other kids. Hence after so much hurdles and preparations, she finally celebrated the day next year on June 19, 1910. Young women gave red roses to their fathers and attendees donned roses to honor their fathers, red for the living and white for the deceased.
