| Fathers Day |
| Fathers Day is the
third Sunday in June. The first Father's Day celebrations were held in June
1910 when church services to honour fathers were held in Spokane, Washington. |
 |
The idea for Fathers Day came
from a woman who had the idea while at a Mothers Day sermon the year before.
She had been raised by her father after her mother had died giving birth. She
wanted him to know how special he was to her and how much she appreciated his
selflessness in raising the family. His birthday was in June. |
| In 1924 the idea that the third
Sunday in June be Fathers Day received presidential support. It was in 1966
that a proclamation declaring the third Sunday in June as Father's Day was
signed. |
| Traditionally it was intended as
a celebration to honour fathers. However grandfathers, stepfathers, friends and
brothers can be included - a day to honour any man considered loving and
kind. |
