Father`s Day Celebrations

Father`s Day, as the name suggests, is a festival to show gratitude to fathers. It was originally set in the United States in the 20th century. Now people in more and more countries around the world celebrate Father`s Day every year. Here, first, let us talk about the origin of Father`s day and then the related custom challenge coins.

1. History of Father`s Day
The first Father`s Day was established in the United States in 1910. It was initiated by Mrs. Dodd. Her mother died of dystocia when she gave birth to her sixth child. After his wife passed away, her father, Mr. William Smart raised and educated six children alone. He worked hard daytime and went home at night to take care of the children. But he died in 1909 due to years of overwork.

Later, when Mrs. Dodd attended the Mother`s Day, Thanksgiving Day, she especially missed her father. She understood that her father`s love and hardship in raising children were no less than any mother. So Mrs. Dodd wrote to the mayor. In her letter, she said that she wished to set one holiday to commemorate the great fathers of the world. The government adopted this proposal.

2. Date of Development
Originally, Mrs. Dodd wished to use her father`s birthday as Father`s Day. And in 1910, the state government where she lived changed the date to the third Sunday in June. In 1924, President Coolidge supported the idea of a national father`s day. In 1972, President Nixon signed an official document, which designated the third Sunday in June as the United States` father`s day, and it became a permanent memorial day in the United States.

The most extensive date is on the third Sunday of June each year, and 52 countries and regions in the world set Father`s Day on this day. Now, it is a trend for people to order cool challenge coins for their fathers.
