[QUOTE="texan, post: 984223, member: 38206"] [B]Father's Day - honouring fatherhood Father's Day is a celebration dedicated to pay reverence to fatherhood. The celebration is considered to be a special day in everyone's lives as people express their gratitude towards their fathers or father figures for their caring hearts and contribution to their children's lives. The trend to celebrate Father's Day takes place every year across the world on various dates. People organize or plan various exciting programmes to observe the day and make their fathers feel special. Like many parts of the world, India also observes this special event on the third Sunday of June. The origin of Father's Day celebration dates back to June 19, 1910 in Spokane, Washington (US) that was primarily observed to complement Mother's Day, a celebration to honour motherhood. The celebration was based on the idea proposed by Sonora Smart Dodd. Sonora Smart Dodd (February 18, 1882 - March 22, 1978), born in Arkansas, after hearing a sermon desired to pay reverence to her father and suggested the idea to celebrate Father's Day on her father's birthday date. After much deliberation the celebration date was deferred to the third Sunday of June. However, the campaign to celebrate Father's Day didn't receive much response. After much debate on the celebration of Father's Day across the US, in 1966, President Lyndon B Johnson eventually officially announced the third Sunday as Father's Day to honour fathers. After six years, President Richard Nixon signed the day into law thus recognizing it as a permanent national holiday. [/B] [/QUOTE]
