Father's Day

Father's Day is a celebration honoring fathers and celebrating fatherhood, paternal bonds, male parenting, and the influence of fathers in society. The majority of Nations celebrate Fathers day on the Third Sunday in June but the date varies widely.

A "Father's Day" service was held on July 5, 1908, in Fairmont, West Virginia, USA in the Williams Memorial Methodist Episcopal Church South, now known as Central United Methodist Church.  The idea of a public Father's Day was conceived in Spokane, Washington by Sonora Dodd while she listened to a Mother's Day sermon in
1909.  Her father, the U.S. Civil War veteran William Jackson Smart, was a single parent who raised his six children there.  The following year, June 19, 1910 was chosen for the first Father's Day celebration, proclaimed by Spokane's mayor because it was the month of William Jackson Smart's birth.
