The origin of father's day
Father's Day was initiated by Mrs. John Bruce Dodd. Mrs. Dodd's mother died very early, and her father took on the heavy responsibility of raising and educating children alone. 1909, Mrs. Dodd is grateful for his father's upbringing and is going to hold a celebration for him. At the same time, thinking of all fathers' contributions to family and society, she wrote to a local clergy association and suggested that the third Sunday in June be designated as Father's Day. The association submitted the proposal to its members for discussion and was approved. 19 10 In June, people celebrated the first Father's Day here. At that time, everyone whose father died wore a white rose, while those whose father was alive wore a red rose. This custom has been passed down to this day. But in the beginning, the date of Father's Day was different. In some places, dandelions were used as symbols of Father's Day, while in others, white lilacs lined with a green leaf were used as symbols of Father's Day. It was not until June 1934 that the third Sunday in June was designated as Father's Day by the United States Congress. Remember to go home and spend time with your parents. Feelings are always the most important part of our feelings.
