The Origin of Father's Day 　父亲节的由来

The Origin of Father's Day 父亲节的由来

The idea for Father's Day started in nineteen-oh-nine. A woman named Sonora Dodd was living in the north western state of Washington. She thought about starting a Father's Day holiday while listening to a Mother's Day speech at church.

Misses Dodd wanted a special day to honor her father, William Smart. He had fought in the American Civil War. Later, his wife died while giving birth to their sixth child. Mister Smart raised the baby and his other five children on a farm in Washington state.

When Sonora Dodd became an adult, she recognized how kind and loving her father had been while raising his six children alone. She believed her father had worked very hard to make sure his children grew up healthy and strong. Sonora's father was born in June. So she chose to hold the first Father's Day celebration in Spokane, Washington on June nineteenth, nineteen-ten.

In nineteen-twenty-four, President Calvin Coolidge gave his support to the idea of a national Father's Day. Then, in nineteen-sixty-six, President Lyndon Johnson signed a presidential statement declaring the third Sunday in June as Father's Day.

In early times, wearing flowers was a traditional way to celebrate Father's Day. People wore red roses to honor fathers who were still living. White flowers were worn to honor fathers who had died.

Today, Americans celebrate Father's Day in many different ways. Some families take their fathers out to a restaurant for a meal. Others give their fathers gifts or cards with special messages of thanks. Children living far away call their fathers on the telephone to wish them a happy Father's Day.

However the holiday is celebrated, the idea is for children to let their father know that he is valued and loved. As one historian in America has said, "Lucky is the man who hears many small voices call him father."
