Father's Day is a day of Celebration in honor of all Fathers, and all men who have acted as a father figure in our life - whether as Stepfathers, Uncles, Grandfathers, or even elder brothers and also to honor fatherhood as Mother's Day celebrates motherhood.

This day is celebrated by giving gifts and wishes to fathers.

Roses are the Father's Day flowers: red to be worn for a living father and white if the father has died.

The driving force behind the establishment of the celebration of Father's Day was Mrs. Sonora Smart Dodd to honor her loving father, William Jackson Smart. She was inspired by Anna Jarvis's efforts to establish Mother's Day.

Sonora's father was born in June, so she chose to hold the first Father's Day celebration in Spokane, Washington on the 19th of June, 1910.

In the Roman Catholic tradition, Father's Day is celebrated on Saint Joseph's Day and in different countries it is celebrated in different dates.
