Despite the different assumptions regarding the origin of Father’s Day, one thing is certain: Father’s Day is an important holiday that has been recognized as such in many countries. And contrary to all expectations Father’s Day is not based on gender complexes or any economic benefits, but only on the idea of ​​showing gratitude and respect to all fathers.

The exact occasion for its creation is disputed. However, the official founder is considered to be Sonora Louise Smart Dodd, daughter of William Jackson Smart. In 1910 she succeeded convincing the church and other official authorities in the importance of the existing of a day of honoring all fathers. The chosen date also had a personal symbolism: that was her father’s birthday. William Jackson Smart was not a typical father for his time. After the death of his wife, he had to raise his six children alone without any help beside the farm work, which takes a lot of time and effort. This is still not an easy task. That’s why most of the men in a similar situation used to send their children to relatives or orphanages. His children were aware that their father had accomplished something very difficult. This fact and the emergence of a Mother’s Day have encouraged his oldest daughter to try to establish a Father’s Day. It didn’t take long for her efforts to be rewarded. Although the date of the celebration has been changed several times in the course of time, we have her to thank to for the existing of this wonderful honor day.
