Father’s Day falls on the third Sunday of June, the time of the year where our dear Fathers, Dads and other father-figures are given honor and recognition for their hard work, dedication, and love for his family.

This holiday was first celebrated on July 5, 1908 in Fairmont, West Virginia, originally to honor the men, especially the fathers who died in Monongah Mining Disaster which happened a few months earlier that year. But the response was not quite great for this event, being overshadowed by other events in the area. The very first Father’s Day celebrated in the U.S. was on June 19, 1910 in Spokane Washington but was officially called a national holiday in 1924. President Lyndon Johnson recommended that the Father’s Day celebration should take place every third Sunday of June. After a long history of unofficial celebration, it was during the Presidency of Richard Nixon in 1972 that Father’s Day became an official holiday.

Father’s Day is not just for our fathers, but also for other people who have been father figures and have been part of our lives like our grandfather, uncle, brother, etc. The idea complements the celebration of Mother’s Day, a celebration to honor our mothers, which falls on May. On this special day, fathers are given recognition, through gifts like tools, sporting goods, wines, or even a simple card and with ways of making them feel special. This day also suggests a special bonding time for the family ” more special than it being on a Sunday, which is a traditional family day.
