Father's Day 2023: Honouring Unseen Love and Boundless Sacrifice

Father's Day 2023: On June 18, 2023, the globe will pause to salute a cornerstone of our lives – our fathers. Known worldwide as Father's Day, this event doesn't merely celebrate biological fathers but extends to all paternal figures who fuel our aspirations and mould our existence.

A Global Salute to Fatherhood: Diverse Father's Day Traditions

The global celebration of Father's Day is as diverse as the world itself. An estimated 70 countries, India among them, dedicate the third Sunday of June to fathers. In contrast, nations like Portugal, Italy, and Spain have marked March 19th, Saint Joseph's Day as per the Catholic Church, for this honour.

Interestingly, Taiwan celebrates Father's Day on August 8, the phonetic equivalent to 'daddy' in Mandarin. Russia, on the other hand, acknowledges fatherhood on February 23.

The Genesis of Father's Day: A Testament of Affection and Admiration

Stirred by a Mother's Day sermon, Sonora proposed a day to honour fathers, with her father's birthday, June 5, as the suggested date.

The idea gained traction in Washington state and gradually became a nationwide observance in the United States. The third Sunday of June was finally established as Father's Day after presidential proclamations by Lyndon Johnson in 1966 and Richard Nixon in 1972.
