To all the children around the world, ‘tis the time to honor and celebrate our hardworking fathers who raised us with unwavering paternal love and kindness regardless of our life choices and circumstances. On this Father’s Day, let’s give them a sweet and memorable treat.
However, before we go to the sweet and delicious part for Father’s Day, aren’t you curious when it all began?
Unveiling Father's Day's Roots
Here’s a little trivia: Father’s Day would not exist on the calendar without the man behind it who inspired his daughter to convince people that, just like mothers, who are the light of the home, fathers, who are known as the pillar of the home, should also be celebrated.
Meet William Jackson Smart, a Civil War veteran whose exemplary love and dedication to his children served as the inspiration behind the annual celebration to honor fathers.
Smart went through the heart-wrenching loss of two wives. He raised alone his six children, providing them with a balance of discipline and nurturing affection. He ensured that his children received the love, care, and guidance they needed, despite the immense personal challenges he faced.
In 1909, his daughter, Sonora Smart Dodd campaigned to establish Father’s Day after hearing a sermon in the church during Mother’s Day. Then, in1972, President Richard M. Nixon signed a congressional resolution officially designating the third Sunday in June as Father’s Day, solidifying its significance. This was a historic moment, taking 62 years from the initial idea to its official recognition.
