Seeing as there is Mother's Day to honor the world's mothers, it's only fair that there should also be Father's Day—a day to honor the world's fathers. This was the exact reasoning that motivated Sonora Louise Smart Dodd of Spokane, Washington to begin her campaign for a nationally recognized Father's Day.
The idea came to her in 1909 while listening to a sermon at her local church about Anna Jarvis's creation of Mother's Day. Dodd was greatly inspired by Jarvis's efforts to make Mother's Day a national holiday and completely understood Jarvis's devotion to her beloved parent. Dodd's own father, a Civil War veteran, was widowed when his wife died in childbirth. He had made countless
sacrifices and shown unconditional love in raising her and her five siblings. Therefore, to commemorate her father, she convinced the Spokane Ministerial Association to support the idea of holding a special Father's Day celebration.
Although Dodd initially chose June 5, her father's birthday, for the celebration, she failed to provide event organizers enough time to make arrangements, and consequently the first Father's Day observance was postponed to June 19, 1910, the third Sunday of that month.
Since then, Father's Day has always fallen on the third Sunday in June in the United States. Many other countries now celebrate Father's Day, too, though not necessarily on the same date as in the United States. In Taiwan, for example, Father's Day is celebrated on August 8, as the date, when read aloud in Chinese, sounds like the word for "father."
Nowadays, Father's Day is celebrated much the same way as Mother's Day, by taking one's father out to dinner or sending greeting cards. Another practice that mimics the Mother's Day tradition is the wearing and giving of flowers. While the carnation is the flower for Mother's Day, roses are associated with Father's Day. People give or wear red roses if their fathers are alive, while white roses are worn to honor one's father who has passed away.
