About Father’s Day
Father’s Day is a day to honour fathers, grandfathers, stepfathers and other father figures. In the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, India and many other countries it is celebrated on the third Sunday of June, a tradition that began in the early twentieth century and became an official US holiday in 1972. Other countries observe it on different dates, such as March 19 in Spain and Portugal, and the first Sunday of September in Australia.
People mark the day with cards, small gifts, a family meal or an outing, and a phone call or visit for those who live far away. It is a chance to say thank you for the quiet support, guidance and sacrifices that fathers make. Messages that mention a specific memory, a lesson he taught or a shared joke are often the most meaningful.
