History
of Father's Day
It
would be interesting to know how this holiday came into practice.
Therefore here is a short history on the holiday, and meaning of
the different colours of roses to be worn that Day.
Father’s Day is celebrated in the 3rd Sunday in June. The
idea for creating a day for children to honor their fathers began
in Spokane, Washington. A woman by the name of Sonora Smart Dodd
thought of the idea for Father's Day while listening to a Mother's
Day sermon in 1909.
Having
been raised by her father, Henry Jackson Smart, after her mother
died, Sonora wanted her father to know
how special he was to her. It was her father that made all
the parental sacrifices and was, in the eyes of his daughter,
a courageous,
selfless, and loving man. (as all Father's are)
Sonora's
father was born in June, so she chose to hold the first Father's
Day celebration in Spokane,
Washington on the 19th of June, 1910.
In 1924 President Calvin Coolidge proclaimed the third Sunday
in June as Father's Day. Roses are the Father's Day flowers:
Red to
be worn for a living father and White if the father has died.
