Do you know why Father's Day is celebrated?; These two daughters celebrated Father's Day for the first time

The mother might give birth to the child, but the father of the child makes him secure in this world and in society. The father's role is no less than the mother's for the child. The mother openly dotes on and hugs her child; in most instances, the father won't ever display the same kind of love for the child as the mother, but he displays an unseen love by doing every possible for the desires, ambitions, pastimes, and prosperous life of the child.

Father's sternness conceals his love and concern. Children openly share their emotions with their mother, but speak less in the face of their father. Nevertheless, every child must realize the father's concern and sacrifice, and his contribution. This special day, dedicated to fathers in the month of June, is celebrated as Father's Day.

Often we express our love to our mother, but ignore the father. Father's Day gives a chance to make the father feel special. This day was celebrated for the first time by a child for a father, and since then, children all over the world have started celebrating Father's Day for their fathers. Let us tell you when Father's Day is celebrated and who was the first father for whom Father's Day was celebrated.

Every year, Father's Day is celebrated on the third Sunday of June. This year, Father's Day, dedicated to fathers, is being celebrated on 15 June 2025.

Father's Day was first celebrated in 1910 in Washington State, USA. However, the foundation of celebrating Father's Day was laid in 1908, when a daughter organized a special event in memory of her father. After this, in the year 1966, Father's Day was officially recognized on the third Sunday of June.

Father's Day was an attempt made by two daughters on behalf of their father. Grace Golden Clayton made the initial attempt to observe a day for father. Grace, in the year 1908, arranged a church service for her father in Fairmont, West Virginia. But this event failed to receive broad recognition during that time.

In the later part of 1910, a daughter from Washington also made the same appeal. Sonora Smart celebrated Father's Day for the very first time for her father, William Jackson Smart. William had six children, whom he brought up as mother and father. To pay tribute to the upbringing and efforts of her father and in his honor, Sonora formally celebrated Father's Day for the very first time on June 19, 1910, in Spokane, Washington. Father's Day was celebrated on 19 June because it was Sonora's father's birthday.

In 1966, US President Lyndon B. Johnson recognized the third Sunday of June as Father's Day. Then in 1972, President Richard Nixon declared this day a permanent national holiday.

This day holds special importance to honor the father's contribution, his hard work, and dedication. Father's Day allows expressing gratitude to your father and appreciating his sacrifice and dedication in life. On this day, children do something special for their father. They express their love for their father by giving him gifts or by making various efforts to make him happy.
