all over the world
Father’s Day is a beautiful festival thatacknowledges and appreciates the important role
played by a father in raising the child and
consequently building a stronger society. Though
fathers have been revered at all times by
civilizations across the globe ironically what was
missing until the last century was the official
recognition of the significance of fathers in ones
life. Father’s Day story is the tale of
realization of the need for a Father’s Day
festival primarily by Ms Sonora Louise Smart Dodd
of Washington. The story narrates Sonora’s
unflagging struggle to officially set a day to
honor all fathers. Thanks to Sonora, today Fathers Day is celebrated in a large number of countries
around the world.
The Beginning of Father’s Day Story
Historians have recorded that there was a
tradition to celebrate Father’s Day even thousands
of years ago. Their study say that 4,000 years ago
in Babylon a son called Elmesu carved a father’s
day message on a clay card. In his message Elmesu
wished his father a long and healthy life. There
is no knowledge as to what happened to this father
son duo but it is believed that several countries
retained the custom of celebrating Father’s Day.
