Father’s Day is celebrated with much pomp across the globe on the third Sunday of June annually. The day honours fathers or father figures in our lives and the sacrifices they make to raise us. It also celebrates paternal bonds and fatherhood. Our fathers are heroes in our lives, capable of achieving any feat, teaching us strength in silence, and adept at solving all problems. As the day approaches near, scroll through to learn all about this day, including its history, significance, and celebrations.
Father’s Day originated in the US after the daughter of a Civil War veteran, Sonora Smart Dodd, wanted to pay an ode to all fathers across the globe. William Jackson Smart was a single father to six children. His daughter decided to honour him by choosing his birth anniversary, June 5, 1982, to celebrate Father’s Day. It is believed that she took inspiration from Anna Jarvis, the founder of Mother’s Day. However, her journey was far from smooth, as her church did not support her petition. Eventually, she had to rally several other local churches for support. Finally, the date got pushed from June 5 to the third Sunday of June. In 1910, Father’s Day was marked for the first time.
