Father's Day is celebrated on the second Sunday of August, but did you know that not all countries celebrate it on this date? The United States, for example, celebrates it on June 18th.
Father's Day is celebrated on the second Sunday of August, and this year the date fell on the 14th. Not all countries celebrate the date on the second Sunday of August. In the United States, for example, the date is remembered on June 18th.
In Brazil, the idea arose on August 16, 1953, through the former director of the newspaper The Globe, Sylvio Bhering. Bhering's objective was to combine the celebration with Saint Joachim's Day, celebrated by the Catholic Church in the liturgical calendar. After some time, the date was fixed on the second Sunday in August.
The idea of the United States (USA) arose in the 1910s, at the suggestion of Sonora Louis Dodd, who wanted to honor the birthday of his father – a veteran of the North American Civil War. Nowadays, the date is celebrated on the third Sunday of June, in the USA.
There are also countries that celebrate Father's Day in March 19th, Saint Joseph's Day, such as Portugal, Spain, Italy, Andorra, Bolivia and Honduras.
