Dad-ication

Father’s Day, a global celebration honoring fathers and father figures, has a rich history dating back to the early 20th century in the United States. Inspired by Mother’s Day, Sonora Smart Dodd proposed the idea to recognize her own father’s selfless service during the Civil War. Today, Father’s Day is marked by diverse traditions, from simple acts of appreciation to elaborate family gatherings, reflecting the evolving roles and significance of fatherhood in society.
