What are the legends of Father's Day?

The world's first Father's Day 19xx was born in America.

19xx, she lived in Mrs. Dodd, Spokane, Washington, USA. After attending the Mother's Day Sunday service organized by the church, Mrs. Dodd was deeply touched. She thought to herself: Why is there no festival to commemorate her father in this world?

Mrs. Dodd's mother died when she was thirteen, leaving six children. Mrs. Dodd's father, Mr William smart, raised six children on a rural farm in eastern Washington, USA. Mr smart took part in the American civil war, and his achievements were shown off. After his wife died, he decided not to have a second wife and took care of his six children wholeheartedly.

Mrs. Dodd is the second child and the only girl in the family. The careful characteristics of women make her more aware of her father's hard work; Mr. Smart works hard during the day and takes care of the housework and the life of every child when he comes home at night. After decades of hard work, the children finally grew up. Just as the children were looking forward to letting Mr. Smart enjoy his old age, Mr. Smart fell ill and died because of years of overwork.

1909 This year happened to be the year when Mr. Smar died. When Mrs. Dodd attended the Mother's Day Thanksgiving service in the church, she especially missed her father. Only then did Mrs. Dodd realize that in the process of raising children, her father's love and efforts were no less than any mother's.

Mrs. Dodd told Pastor Rasmus about her feelings, hoping to have a special day to pay tribute to the great Mr. Smart and commemorate the great father in the world.

After listening to Mr Smart's story, Pastor remus was deeply moved by Mr Smart's spirit and love. He praised and supported Mrs. Dodd's efforts to promote Father's Day. So Mrs. Dodd began to promote the establishment of Father's Day in the spring of 19 10, and soon got the support of various church organizations; She immediately wrote to the mayor and the state government to express her thoughts and suggestions. Thanks to Mrs. Dodd's efforts, the mayor of Spokane and governor of washington publicly agreed, so Washington held the world's first Father's Day party on June 19 19.

1924, US President johncalvin coolidge supported Father's Day as a national holiday. 1966, President Zhan Sen declared the third Sunday in June of that year, that is, Mr. Smart's birthday month, as American Father's Day. 1972, US President Richard Nixon signed an official document, which designated the third Sunday in June as the National Father's Day and became a permanent national memorial day in the United States.

1966, President Lyndon? Lyndon johnson signed a presidential decree declaring the third Sunday of June as Father's Day every year. Father's Day has become a holiday. Not only one's own father, but all men who behave like fathers, including stepfathers, uncles, grandfathers and adult male friends, are respected. The official flower of Father's Day is white rose or red rose. Mrs. Dade suggested that people wear white roses to commemorate their dead fathers and red roses to commemorate their living fathers on Father's Day.

The second statement:

The idea of dedicating a day to commemorate mother was first put forward in the United States in 19xx. Two years later, a woman in Washington state, John? Bruce? Mrs. Dodd suggested that there should be a day similar to Mother's Day to pay tribute to the father of the head of the family. Mrs. Dodd lost her mother when she was young and was brought up by her father. She loves her father very much.

In the same year that Mrs. Dodd put forward her idea-19xx, the governor of Washington responded by declaring the third Sunday in June as Father's Day. This idea was adopted by Wood at 19 16. President Wilson officially approved it. 1924 Calvin? President Coolidge suggested making Father's Day a national holiday. Establish a closer relationship between father and son, so that father can remember all his responsibilities? . Red roses or white roses are considered as Father's Day flowers.

Father's Day is established as a holiday throughout the United States, which is longer than Mother's Day. Because the idea of establishing Father's Day is very popular, businessmen and manufacturers are beginning to see business opportunities. They not only encourage children to send greeting cards to their fathers, but also encourage them to buy small gifts such as ties and socks to show their respect for their fathers.

During World War II, American soldiers stationed in Britain asked to send Father's Day cards back to China. The American soldier's request was answered by the British greeting card publisher, and the greeting card was printed. Although the British public's acceptance of this artificial festival has been low, today, Father's Day is also celebrated on the third Sunday in June in Britain, which is similar to the way in the United States.

Father's Day seems far less important than Mother's Day. No children give gifts to their fathers. However, American fathers still think their fate is much stronger than that of fathers in many other countries, because fathers in those countries don't even have a nominal holiday.

The third statement:

While celebrating Mother's Day, people have not forgotten their father's achievements.

From 19xx, it is suggested to confirm Father's Day. It is said that John in Washington was the first person to make such a suggestion. Bruce? Mrs. Dodd. Mrs. Dodd's mother died very early, and her father took on the heavy responsibility of raising and educating children alone.

19xx, Mrs. Dodd is grateful for his father's upbringing and is going to hold a celebration for him. At the same time, thinking of all fathers' contributions to family and society, she wrote to a local clergy association and suggested that the third Sunday in June be designated as Father's Day. The association submitted the proposal to its members for discussion and was approved.

19xx In June, people celebrated the first Father's Day here. At that time, everyone whose father died wore a white rose, while those whose father was alive wore a red rose. This custom has been passed down to this day. But in the beginning, the date of Father's Day was different. In some places, dandelions were used as symbols of Father's Day, while in others, white lilacs lined with a green leaf were used as symbols of Father's Day. It was not until June 1934 that the third Sunday in June was designated as Father's Day by the United States Congress.

Later, more than 20 countries around the world commemorated Father's Day through church ceremonies, cards and gifts. The United States spends more than/kloc-0 billion dollars on gifts for 56 million respectable fathers every year, but there are almost no other kinds of gifts except ties and cigars. Many people think it is the most difficult to buy a gift for their father. In fact, there are many interesting and suitable ones.
