Father's Day 2021

When is Father's Day 2021?

According to the official commercial holiday calendar, the Father's Day 2021 date will be happily celebrated on Sunday, June 20th (6/20/2021).

But do You Really Know the Meaning of this Special Date?

This is a day to honor all men who are working diligently to be good fathers, grandfathers, great-granddads, whether they are stepfathers, biological fathers or just spiritual fathers.

A US Census Bureau survey found that more than 60% of the 121 million adult men in this country are fathers.

Being a FATHER is one of the greatest titles in the world and one of the greatest blessings a man can receive in life.

Until you have a child of your own, you will never know the joy, the love beyond the feeling that resonates in a parent's heart when he looks at his child.

Fatherhood teaches men about unconditional love and reinforces the importance of being a better person.

A responsible father is worth more than a hundred teachers in his children's lives, he will always be your mentor and prepare you to face real life.

That fatherly spirit was immortalized in this iconic scene from the classic film Rocky Balboa (2006), where a father teaches his son about the harsh reality of the world and how to succeed in life:

Moms give us a boost, but it's dads who give us the strength to achieve our dreams and will always believe in you when no one else would.

Women play an important role as the heart of the home, but this in no way diminishes the equally important role that fathers must play.

One of the greatest gifts my father gave me - unintentionally - was witnessing the courage with which he endured adversity.

We've had a roller coaster life with some really challenging financial periods.

He was always unflappable, completely calm, the same happy, reliable and protective man.

A real father loves his children, and puts the family as the most important thing in life.

When Father's Day arrives, remember your father and try to show your gratitude for all the moments your father was present in your life.

Ideas to celebrate this day range from a hearty breakfast in bed, a barbecue, an impromptu soccer game, a day of fishing on the lake, a family gathering or maybe just a day off would be perfect ways to celebrate dad.

While this holiday has strong commercial appeal, the gift most parents look forward to receiving is as simple as a heartfelt hug from their children.

No matter life's circumstances, just know that your dad is your best friend and always will be.

How Was Father's Day Created?

This festive day was created in 1908 by Grace Golden Clayton, the devoted daughter of a reverend, after hundreds of men died in the worst mining accident in US history.

She organized the first Father's Day celebration held in Fairmont, West Virginia, on July 5, 1908.

Mrs. Clayton wanted to honor the many parents who died in the mining explosion, which killed more than 361 men and boys and orphaned nearly 1,000 children.

About two years later, an incredible woman named Sonora Smart Dodd joined forces with the initiative and was responsible for popularizing this special day across the country.

The events promoted by Mrs. Dodd led Father's Day to become a traditional holiday in the United States.
