Fathers Day-Date, History and Definition

 

Father’s Day, in the United State, holiday (third Sunday in June) to honor  fathers. Credit for originating the holyday is generally given to Sonora Smart Dodd of Spokane, Washington, whose father, a Civil War veteran, raised her and her five siblings after their mother died in childbirth. She is said to have had idea in 1909 while listening to a sermon on Mother Day, which at the time was becoming established as a holiday. Local religious leaders supported the idea, and the first Father Day was celebrated on June19, 1910, the month of the birthday of Dodd’s father. In 1924 U.S Press. Calvin Coolidge gave his support to the observance, and 1966 Pres. Lyndon B. Johnson issued a proclamation that recognized the day. It became a national holiday in 1972, when pres. Richard Nixon signed legislation designating the third Sunday of June as Fathers Day.
