From where came the idea of Father's Day?
It is said that the idea behind fathers day was first introduced in the early 20th century by a woman
called Sonora Smart Dodd from Spokane, Washington. Sonora wanted to honor her father, who had raised six
children as a single parent. She proposed the idea of a Father's Day celebration to the Spokane
Ministerial Association, and the first Father's Day was celebrated on June 19, 1910, in Spokane.
Since then, Father's Day has become a global
celebration, with different countries celebrating it on various dates. In the United States,
Father's Day is celebrated on the third Sunday of June.
