The History Of Father’s Day Holiday
The origins of this holiday go back to early 20th century, when people honored more than 350 men who died in a mining accident in West Virginia. However, it wasn’t until 1972, when the president of the USA made it a national holiday. Father’s Day is celebrated on the third Sunday in June, and it acknowledges the importance of fathers and paternal roles in our lives and society.
