每年六月的第三個星期日是“父親節”（Father's Day），和“母親節”一樣，“父親節”也起源於美國。1909年，一位名叫多伍德的女士在美國首都華盛頓特區（Washington D．C．）傳播“母親節”。在此期間，她想到了父親。在她很小的時候，母親離開了人世，父親不得不艱難地獨自擔負起撫養孩子的家庭重擔。過去的情景，又一幕幕地在她的腦海裏浮現。多伍德女士深深地感到設立父親節的必要。她向社會呼籲，引起了人們的積極響應，六月的第三個星期日被選為“父親節”。在1910年6月，美國慶祝了第一個“父親節”。當時凡是父親還健在的人都在胸前佩戴一朵紅玫瑰花，以表達對父親的敬意；而父親已故去的人，則佩戴一朵白玫瑰花，以此表達對父親的無限懷念和哀思。
1927年，卡爾文·柯立芝總統辦公室對這一節日表示了讚同。從此，“父親節”為越來越多的人所知道並流傳下來。同學們，你們可曾想到在“父親節”來臨之時，為辛勤操勞的父親送點禮物嗎？

In the United States, the first modern Father's Day celebration was held on July 5, 1908, in Fairmont, West Virginia. [1][2] It was first celebrated as a church service at Williams Memorial Methodist Episcopal Church South, now known as Central United Methodist Church. Grace Golden Clayton, who is believed to have suggested the service to the pastor, is believed to have been inspired to celebrate fathers after the deadly mine explosion in nearby Monongah the prior December. This explosion killed 361 men, many of them fathers and recent immigrants to the United States from Italy. Another possible inspiration for the service was Mother's Day, which had recently been celebrated for the first time in Grafton, West Virginia, a town about 15 miles away. Father's day originates as far back as 1839 in celebration of the fathers that went to war in the Battle of Iransop in which 123 fathers lost their lives defending the outpost.
Another driving force behind the establishment of the integration of Father's Day was Mrs. Sonora Smart Dodd, born in Creston, Washington. Her father, the Civil War veteran William Jackson Smart, as a single parent reared his six children in Spokane, Washington. She was inspired by Anna Jarvis's efforts to establish Mother's Day. Although she initially suggested June 5, the anniversary of her father's death, she did not provide the organizers with enough time to make arrangements, and the celebration was deferred to the third Sunday of June. The first June Father's Day was celebrated on June 19, 1910, in Spokane, WA.
Unofficial support from such figures as William Jennings Bryan was immediate and widespread. President Woodrow Wilson was personally feted by his family in 1916. President Calvin Coolidge recommended it as a national holiday in 1924. In 1966, President Lyndon Johnson made Father's Day a holiday to be celebrated on the third Sunday of June. The holiday was not officially recognized until 1972, during the presidency of Richard Nixon.
In recent years, retailers have adapted to the holiday by promoting male-oriented gifts such as electronics ,tools and greeting cards. Schools and other children's programs commonly have activities to make Father's Day gifts.
