Father’s Day has been celebrated on March 19 as Saint Joseph’s
Day since the Middle Ages. In the United States, Father’s Day
was founded by Sonora Smart Dodd, and celebrated on the third
Sunday of June for the first time in 1910. The day is held on
various dates across the world, and different regions maintain
their own traditions of honoring fatherhood.
