1. Holiday history of ๐จโ๐งโ๐ฆ Fatherโs Day
The idea of this holiday was born thanks to the initiative of the American Sonora Dodd. She decided to honor the memory of her ๐จ Father, William Smart, who single-handedly raised 6 children on the farm. However, he was also a Civil War veteran.
With her initiative, Dodd wanted to thank both her father and all the fathers who are raising children. Her idea found support from other citizens, and on June 19, 1910, Fatherโs Day was celebrated for the first time.
But this holiday became national only in 1966. At the same time, Lyndon Johnson moved the celebration date from June 19 to the third Sunday in June. Following the example of the United States, other countries began to celebrate Fatherโs Day.
