For example, the idea of Father’s Day dates back to the beginning of the 20th century. People believe that an American lady named Sonora Smart Dodd was the one who got the idea for such a celebration. When Sonora was young, her mother died, and her father brought up the girl and her five brothers and sisters on his own. He was such a good father, that Sonora wanted to find a way to honour him and thank him for everything. She was sure there should be a celebration similar to “Mother’s Day” to honour people like her dad. Local authorities supported the idea, and the first Father’s Day was celebrated on June 19th, 1910 in Spokane, Washington. People say that Sonora chose June because her father was born in June. Unfortunately, Father’s Day did not become popular. Even though the American President Woodrow Wilson gave his approval by celebrating Father’s Day privately with his family in 1916, people seemed to lose interest in the idea. Later, in 1924, President Calvin Coolidge supported this celebration. He suggested that Father’s Day should become an official national holiday. Unfortunately, no one took his recommendation seriously. Only over forty years later, in 1966, President Lyndon Johnson announced that Father’s Day would be an official national holiday. They even set the date for the holiday, every third Sunday in June. Even so, the holiday was not officially recognised until 1972, when President Richard Nixon signed the law that made Father’s Day an official holiday to be celebrated every year on the third Sunday in June.
