Celebrating Dad: What is the origin of Father’s Day?
The origins of Father’s Day traces back to early 20th-century America. It was the devoted daughter of a Civil War veteran and single father, Sonora Smart Dodd, who first proposed the idea in 1910. Inspired by the sacrifices and steadfast parenting of her father, Dodd envisioned a day that would honour her father with the same reverence given to mothers.
Although father's day began modestly, the concept gradually gained momentum, spreading beyond American borders. By the mid-20th century, the tradition took root in the United Kingdom, becoming a cherished fixture in our cultural calendar.
Today, Father’s Day is not only an opportunity to say “thank you,” but also a moment to reflect on the influence and presence of fathers in our lives, whether biological, adoptive, or chosen.
