What is the origin of Father's Day and when is Father's Day?
Introduction: Father's Day is a holiday to express gratitude to fathers, but what is the origin of Father's Day? The fifth month of the lunar calendar is also known as: Midsummer, Pomegranate Month, Pu Month, and Gao Month. The fifth month of the lunar calendar means the arrival of summer. Let’s take a look at the fifth month of the lunar calendar in 2018 with the Fortune Teller website. The world's first Father's Day was born in the United States in 1910.
In 1909, a Washington lady named Bruce Dodd suddenly had an idea while celebrating Mother's Day:
Since there is Mother's Day, why can't there be Father's Day?
Mrs. Dodd and her five younger brothers lost their mother at an early age and were raised by their loving father. Many years have passed, and every time the six siblings celebrate their father’s birthday or death anniversary, they always recall how their father worked hard to support the family. With the support of Dr. Rasmus, she wrote an earnest letter to the state government, calling for the establishment of Father's Day and suggesting that the holiday be set on June 5, her father's birthday. The state government adopted her suggestion and hastily set Father's Day on June 16, the third Sunday in June 1909. The following year, the Spokane City, where Mrs. Dodd lived, officially celebrated this festival. The mayor announced the proclamation of the Father's Day and designated this day as a statewide day. Later, other states also celebrated Father's Day.
On Father's Day, people choose specific flowers to show their respect for their fathers. People adopted Mrs. Dodd's suggestion and wore red roses to show their love for living fathers and white roses to mourn their deceased fathers. Later in Vancouver, people chose to wear white lilacs. In order to standardize Father's Day, Pennsylvanians strongly called on Parliament to recognize this holiday. In 1972, President Nixon officially signed a congressional resolution establishing Father's Day. This festival was finally established in the form of law and has been used to this day. The most widely celebrated date is the third Sunday of June each year, and 52 countries and regions in the world celebrate Father's Day on this day.
