The History of Father\u2019s Day<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Father\u2019s Day is a holiday of honouring fatherhood and paternal bonds. Additionally, it recognises the influence of father in society. In Catholic European countries it is celebrated on Saint Joseph\u2019s Day. This has been the case since the middle ages. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are two incidents that led to the formation of Father\u2019s Day in the US. First, in 1908, Grace Golden Clayton proposed the day to honour those me who lost their lives in a\u00a0 mini accident. Second, in 1909, Sonora Smart Dodd connived the Spokane Ministerial Association to celebrate the day worldwide. This was because after attending Mother\u2019s Day in church she was inspired to honour her father who raised her and her give brothers alone.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
