A father is a pillar of the family whose love for his children is just like oxygen for the survival of the lives. He is the one who puts in every ounce of his energy in making you happy. Not because they have to, but because they want to and they love to.

He is the one special person who will always be there with you in all your thick and thin and he continues to do that till his last breath.

The sacrifices a father make for their children are innumerable, you can't never 'payback' for them.

Fathers play a role in every child's life that cannot be filled by others. Hence, to recognise the contribution of a father makes in his children's life Father's day is celebrated every year around the world.

"A father is someone you look up to no matter how tall you grow." -Unknown

On this day usually, people buy gifts for their fathers or treat them to special things. But, this year, due to coronavirus lockdown people will prefer to celebrate the day in their home.

When was first Father's Day celebrated?

On June 19, 1910, the first Father's Day was celebrated in America.

It is believed the idea of Father's Day was first proposed by Sonora Smart Dodd of the United States whose father, William Jackson Smart, was an American Civil War veteran. He raised her and her five siblings after her mother died. He had made a lot of sacrifices for her sake and she saw him as a brave, selfless, and affectionate man. Wanting to let her father know how special he was to her, she proposed the idea of Fathers' Day.

After many years, in 1972, Father's Day became an official holiday when President Richard Nixon signed it into law.
