Annual celebration<\/h2>\n

Credit for the annual celebration is usually attributed to Mrs Sonora Dodd.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Mrs. Dodd\u2019s mother had died during childbirth, leaving her father, William Jackson Smart, to raise his five sons and daughter\u00a0on his own. \u00a0In 1910, she attended a Mother\u2019s Day church service and decided that her father had made just as much effort in raising the family as mothers did. She decided his efforts should be honoured in the same way \u2013 with a special day. Approaching the Spokane Ministerial Association and the local YMCA, Mrs Dodd\u2019s asked them to support her proposal. Originally intended to take place on her father\u2019s birthday, the celebration had to be postponed until the third Sunday of June.<\/p>\n

The first Fathers day celebration took place on 19th<\/sup> June 1910 in Spokane.\u00a0President Nixon made it a permanent national holiday by law in 1972.\u00a0The idea of celebrating Fathers day spread to the UK from America.<\/p>\n
