History behind this celebration:
We celebrate Father’s Day on the third Sunday of June but why is it celebrated only on the third Sunday? Let us know it in detail. The closest to the father are his daughters, so you can understand that a daughter discovered Father’s Day and that daughter’s name was Sonora Smart Dodd.
The first Father’s Day was celebrated on June 19, 1910, in Spokane Washington. In 1909, Sonora heard a speech on Mother’s Day in a church. Hearing this speech, he felt that the way Mother’s Day is celebrated, in the same way, Father’s Day should also be organized in the honor of the father. Sonora felt this because her father, William Jackson Smart, took care of his six children alone.
Her mother died when Sonora was 16 years old and her father, a soldier, single-handedly raised all her children. In 1910, Sunora took this idea and went to the pastor of the church and he supported Sunora’s idea on June 19, 1910, celebrating Father’s Day, celebrated Father’s Day everywhere. Sonora wanted Father’s Day to be celebrated on June 5, her father’s birthday, but the church pastor needed some time to organize, so Father’s Day was celebrated on June 19.
In 1913 Congress refused to recognize Father’s Day because they thought it would become just another holiday. The struggle to get Father’s Day recognized went on for many years. In 1966, during World War II, many families lost their fathers and they realized the father’s contribution, so in 1972, President Richard Nixon recognized it as a national holiday.
