The History Behind Father’s Day
每年六月的第三个星期日是父亲节。我们向父亲在家庭和社会中的重要作用表示敬意。
Sonora Smart Dodd of Spokane, Washington, is credited with the idea of Father’s Day when she listened to a sermon on Mother’s Day in 1909. Dodd and her five siblings were raised by their father, a Civil War veteran, after her mother died in childbirth. Local religious leaders supported the idea, and the first Father’s Day was celebrated on June 19, 1910, the month of her father’s birth, and became a national holiday in 1972, when President Richard Nixon signed legislation designating it as such.
虽然父亲节最初是一个宗教节日，但现在已经被送礼物和贺卡商业化了。但是，父亲节并不一定要再送父亲一件衬衫、一条领带或一双袜子。父亲节也不必在人满为患的餐厅度过。相反，何不让父亲节变得格外特别，带他在水上度过特别的一天，让他真正感受到父爱的伟大？
