Celebrating Father's Day



How did Mother's Day and Father's Day come about anyway?

Well, Mother's Day was first celebrated in 1908, when Anna Jarvis held a memorial for her mother in Graton, WV. It became a recognized holiday in the United States in 1914 and celebrated on the second Sunday in May. Each person offers a gift, card, or remembrance to their mothers, grandmothers, and/or a maternal figure on Mother Day to honor and celebrate motherhood.


Father's Day was first celebrated in Spokane, WA at the YMCA on June 19, 1910 to honor and pay tribute to fatherhood. Sonora Dodd was the driving force behind the idea of celebrating Father's Day and the third Sunday of June was continued.
