Father's Day
Father's Day origin
Father's Day I
The first Father's Day in the world was born in the United States of America in 1910. 1909, the first Father's Day was celebrated by a father who lived in Spokane (Spokane), Washington State, USA. Spokane (Spokane) Mrs. Dodd (Mrs. Dodd, Sonora Louise Smart Dodd), when she participated in the church held Mother's Day Sunday service, Mrs. Dodd's heart had a deep feeling, she thought to herself, "Why is it that the world does not have a holiday to commemorate fathers? "
Mrs. Doud's mother died when she was thirteen years old, leaving behind six children; Mrs. Doud's father, Mr. William Smart, raised his six children alone, father and mother, on a rural farm in eastern Washington State. Mr. Smart, who served with distinction in the American Civil War, was determined not to renew his marriage after his wife's death and to bring up his six children.
Mrs. Dodd was the second oldest and the only girl in the family, and the meticulous nature of women made her appreciate her father's hard work; Mr. Smart worked hard during the day, and then came home at night to take care of the house and each of the children. After decades of hard work, the children finally grew up, when the children look forward to letting Mr. Smart enjoy a good old age, Mr. Smart but because of the years of overwork and died of illness.
In 1909, the year of Mr. Smart's death, Mrs. Dodd missed her father terribly after attending the church's Mother's Day service; it was only then that Mrs. Dodd realized that her father's love and hard work in raising his children was no less than that of any mother.
Mrs. Dodd told Rev. Rasmus of the church how she felt, and she hoped that there would be a special day to honor the great Mr. Smart, and that it would be a way of remembering the great fathers of the world.
Rev. Rasmus was y moved by Mr. Smart's spirit and love when he heard his story, and he approved and supported Mrs. Dodd's efforts to promote Father's Day. In the spring of 1910, Mrs. Dodd began to push for the establishment of a Father's Day movement, which soon gained the support of various church organizations; she then wrote letters to the mayor and the state government to express her ideas and proposals, and through Mrs. Dodd's efforts, the mayor of Spokane and the governor of Washington State publicly expressed their approval, and the first Father's Day gathering was held in Washington State, USA, on June 19, 1910, which was the first Father's Day gathering in the world. The first Father's Day party in the world was held on June 19, 1910 in Washington State.
In 1924, U.S. President Calvin Coolidge (Calvin Coolidge) supported Father's Day to become a holiday throughout the United States; in 1966, U.S. President Jensen (Lyndon Johnson) declared the third Sunday in June of that year, which is the month of Mr. Smart's birthday for the U.S. Father's Day; in 1972, U.S. President Richard Nixon (Richard Nixon) signed a letter of support for Father's Day in the United States. Richard Nixon) signed an official document, will be the third Sunday in June each year, scheduled for the United States as a father's day, and become the United States permanent national day of remembrance.
Origin II
The idea of dedicating a day to honor mothers was first proposed in 1907 in the U.S. Two years later, Mrs. John Bruce Dodd, a woman in Washington State, proposed that there should be a day similar to Mother's Day to honor fathers, who were the head of the family. Mrs. Dodd lost her mother at a young age and was brought up by her father. She loved her father very much.
In the same year that Mrs. Dodd came up with her idea - 1909 - the governor of Washington responded by declaring the third Sunday in June as Father's Day. The idea was formally approved by President Woodrow Wilson in 1896, and in 1924, President Calvin Coolidge proposed making Father's Day a national holiday to "establish a closer relationship between fathers and children and to remind fathers of the full extent of their responsibilities." Red or white roses are the recognized flowers for Father's Day.
During World War II, U.S. servicemen stationed in Britain requested Father's Day cards to send home. The American servicemen's request was responded to by British greeting card publishers, and cards were printed as a result. Although the British public has been slower to embrace this artificial holiday, today Father's Day is celebrated in Britain on the third Sunday in June, much in the same way as it is in the United States.
Father's Day seems far less important than Mother's Day, and no children give their fathers gifts. But fathers in the United States still consider their lot much stronger than those in many other countries, where fathers don't even have a nominal holiday.
