THE ORIGINS OF FATHER'S DAY
Less celebrated throughout the world and yet equally important that Mother's Day, Father's Day is originally a Christian holiday dating from the Middle Ages and celebrated on March 19, Saint Joseph's Day.
It was at the beginning of the 20th century that the United States made it a civil holiday. After several attempts, it was the holiday established on June 19, 1910 by Sonora Smart Dodd which is enjoying some success.
A teacher by trade, she regretted that there was no day dedicated to fathers, and wanted to pay tribute to her father who had raised his six children alone after the death of his wife.
Ideally, she would have liked to celebrate it on June 5, her father's birthday. But the pastor of her village warned her that he would not have time to prepare his special sermon for that occasion.
Another date was therefore chosen, namely the third Sunday in June.
Different traditions have existed since and the date varies depending on the country.
