Father’s Day: History
Origin of Father's Day
dates back to many years and the origin can be considered from two stories.
According to the first
story,
in 1910, during a Mother's Day church service a person named Sonora Smart Dodd
from Washington suggested that like a mother even fathers should be honored
equally that is the love that we give to our mothers and celebrate Mother’s
Day similarly Father's Day should also be celebrated. She said
this because she had lost her mother when she was 16 and his father had taken
care of her and her other 5 siblings. He father was an American Civil War
Veteran. She went and approached Spokane's Ministerial Association and
asked them to declare Father's Day on 5 June because that day was her father's
birthday. Also, they have proposed an idea of celebrating Father's Day on third
Sunday of June every year. In Spokane, Washington the first Father's Day was
observed on 19 June 1910.
This became an annual
event at Spokane. The concept soon picked in various towns. And as a result in
1913, the first bill was introduced in Congress, suggesting Father's Day
should be considered a national holiday. The bill was passed in 1972 and
officially Father's Day was established when President Nixon declared the
Father's Day as an official celebration on every third Sunday of June.
The second story talks about Father's Day
origin as Grace Golden Clayton wanted to establish Father’s Day for those
children who had lost their fathers in a mine explosion. This mish appending
took the lives of around 360 men in the town. She wanted that there should be a
day for the children to honor and remember their fathers. This happened in 1908
and till then Father's Day was not yet established. But yes we can say that the
concept for celebrating Father's Day can be traced from here. Hence, the
Father's Day was established and became an international event after the
proposal of Sonora Smart Dodd as discussed above.
