Father's Day: A brief history

Mother's Day has been celebrated for hundreds of years, but Father's Day is relatively new. The day probably originated in the US, and there are several stories of how it started.
The most popular and likely, account suggests it began with a woman named Sonora Louise Smart in Washington. Following her mother's death during childbirth, her father single-handedly raised the family. In 1909, Sonora heard a sermon in church about Mother's Day and thought fathers should also be celebrated. It is believed that the first unofficial Father's Day was observed on June 19, 1910, by several local clergymen.

Father’s Day: How is it celebrated around the world?

In France, Father’s Day is marked by giving all kinds of gifts, including roses. It is a tradition in France to give your father red roses if he is alive but to lay white roses on your father's grave if he has died.
In Mexico, the Carrera Dia del Padre, also known as Father's Day Race, is an annual 13-mile race held in Mexico City. Children are welcome to run along with their fathers. Thailand celebrates Father's Day on the 5th of December, the birthday of the nation's father, the late King Bhumibol Adulyadej.
 
Yellow is traditionally worn on Father's Day. In Nepal, those who have lost their fathers go to a pilgrimage site and perform shraddha, the holy ritual in memory of them. As opposed to spending time with their children, German fathers often go off on hikes, sometimes pulling wagons filled with drinks and food.
Nevertheless, there’s a universal way to show your dad how much you care. Nothing can beat a good bottle of alcohol for him, even on Father’s Day!
