What Does Father’s Day Celebrate?
Father’s Day was first officially celebrated after Sonora Smart Dodd wanted to honor her father, William Smart, in 1909. As mothers were being celebrated on Mother’s Day, she felt it just as necessary to give the same praise to the fathers in the world who selflessly took care of their children as her widowed father did. The next year, in 1910, Father’s Day became an official holiday in Washington State. It would take until 1924 for the United States to recognize the holiday by President Calvin Coolidge. Soon after, more countries adopted a similar celebration.
Father’s Day is practiced in Lituania on the first Sunday in June. Austria, Ecuador, and Belgium honor their fathers on the second Sunday. Most other countries in the world recognize the third Sunday as Father’s Day including Antigua, Puerto Rico, Costa Rica, Paraguay, Peru, the U.S., Mexico, Canada, Turkey, India, Japan, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, Ireland, Switzerland, UK, Czech Republic, France, Greece, and South Africa. El Salvador and Guatemala recognize dads on June 17th while Nicaragua, Poland, and Uganda honor them on June 23rd.
