Father's Day

Father’s Day.

20-06-2010.Father’s Day falls every year on third Sunday of month June.


The idea for creating a day for honouring the Father began in 1909
in Spokane, Washington where one Sonora Smart Dod thought of
the idea for Father’s Day celebration, while listening to a Mother’s
Day sermon in the year 1909.

In the year 1924, President Calvin Coolidge proclaimed the third Sunday
in the month of June to be celebrated through out the country as
Father’s day, to recognise the sacrifices, fathers make for their families.

Roses are the Father’s Day flowers, and red dress to be worn whose father
is alive and white if the father had died.

In India Father’s Day is celebrated in the form of remembrance on the Sarva Pitru
Amavasya which falls this year on 28 September.
