Father’s Day featuring 23 best celebrity Fathers
As sons and daughters across the world celebrate Father’s Day this Sunday few know Dad’s special day hits its centennial on June 20, 2010. Still, fewer know how it all began. According to the Economic Times, in 1909, a Mother’s Day sermon at church inspired Spokane resident Sonora Smart-Dodd, one of six children being raised by a single dad, to honor her father. She encouraged local churches to institute the first Father’s Day observance the next year, and the idea has since caught on. Father’s Day became a national holiday in the US in 1972, when President Richard Nixon declared it to be the third Sunday of June.
