How Father’s Day Came to Be- An Insight

The inspiration for Father’s Day was actually Mother’s Day. Mother’s Day, which we celebrate every year, has its origins back in the peace and reconciliation campaigns in the post- civilian war era. Although, Mother’s Day wasn’t considered a commercial holiday until 1908 when Anna Jarvis wanted to honor her mother by making Mother’s Day a national holiday. Mother’s Day became a national holiday in the year 1914, after American President Woodrow Wilson, approved a resolution to mark every second Sunday in May a holiday to honor “that tender, gentle army, the mothers of America.”

 Origin of Father’s Day

People did not accept the campaign to celebrate the nationwide fathers with the same enthusiasm as for mothers day, perhaps because they considered it a tribute to women and effeminate to their liking. Men viewed Father’s Day similar to Mother’s Day, as something very feminine and sentimental. Hence, they ridiculed the idea of celebrating Father’s day as opposed to their manliness and patriarchy.

The mother of Father’s Day was Sonora Smart Dodd of Spokane, Washington. She was inspired by Anna Jarvis’s idea of Mother’s Day and wanted to honor fathers. In other words, this idea occurred to her when she sat listening to a Mother’s Day sermon in the year 1909. A year ago, in West Virginia, on July 5, the first-ever Father’s Day occurred, after hundreds of men died in the worst mining accidents in the history of the U.S. Although, this was a one-time commemoration initiated by Grace Golden Clayton to honor all the fathers who had died in the explosions at the Fairmont Coal Company mines in Monongah.

Sonora Smart Dodd was raised, along with her 5 siblings by a single parent- her father William Smart. She tried to establish an equivalent to Mother’s Day for the father figures and proposed her idea to the Spokane Ministerial Association and YMCA that they celebrate Father’s Day on June 5, as it was her father’s birthday. After all, she was successful in her attempt to muster support and finally, the nation’s first-ever statewide Father’s Day was celebrated on June 19, 1910(the third Sunday in June) and then became an annual event there.

Slowly, the holiday spread to neighboring towns and they had their own celebrations. In spite of all the support, this holiday wasn’t considered a national holiday for many years. It was in 1913 that President Woodrow Wilson encouraged the first bill, but it did not pass. In 1924, President Calvin Coolidge encouraged state governments to observe Father’s Day. Finally, in 1972, President Richard Nixon signed a law declaring the celebration of Father’s Day on the third Sunday of June, annually.

Father’s Day 2023: Theme

There is no specific theme for Father’s day 2023. Meanwhile, the day is celebrated to honoring your father

Controversies, Economy and Commercialism 

During the 1920s and 1930s, a movement arose to ditch Mother’s Day and Father’s Day altogether for a single holiday marking Parent’s Day. As mothers and fathers are together a single entity, some people didn’t like the idea of celebrating different days to honor them. So, as absurd as it may seem, two events pushed Father’s Day forward, despite the raging controversies.

  • The Great Depression

With so many people on the brink of poverty, the economy needed reasons and opportunities for people to spend money. Therefore, the struggling retailers and advertisers promoted Father’s Day commercially and brainwashed people into buying clothing, books, pipes and tobacco, sporting goods etc. They urged people to buy stuff for their father which otherwise he wouldn’t buy for himself.

  • World War II

During World War II, the advertisers stated that as the men were on the frontline, celebrating Father’s Day was an honor, moreover, to the American troops, showing support to them.
