The Origins of Fathers Day

For many of us around the world, Fathers Day is an annual event that is celebrated religiously, whether it be by sending a card, showering our dad in fathers day gifts, attending family dinners, afternoon teas, lunches or all of the above! In Australia, Father’s Day is celebrated on the first Sunday in September (6th September 2009), but why is it that we celebrate Fathers Day and how did it come about?

Father’s Day is thought to have originated in America between 1909 and 1910 when an adult daughter by the name of Sonora Smart Dodd, raised alongside her 5 siblings by her widowed father realized how much of a sacrifice her father had made to ensure her safe passage in he world. Mothers day was already widely celebrated and Sonora felt the need to acknowledge her father in a similar fashion.
