What is Father's Day?

Father's Day is a special occasion dedicated to honoring fathers and celebrating fatherhood, paternal bonds, and the influence of fathers in society. The tradition has a rich   history that spans over a century and varies across different cultures and countries.

In 1924, President Calvin Coolidge recommended that   Father's Day be observed throughout the nation, but he did not issue a national proclamation.

In 1966, President Lyndon B. Johnson issued the first  presidential proclamation designating the third Sunday in June as Father's Day.

Finally, in 1972, President Richard Nixon signed a law making Father’s Day a permanent national holiday, to be celebrated on the third Sunday of June each year.
