The Night Before Father's Day
Happy Father's Day
-- Father's Day is a day of honoring fatherhood and paternal bonds, as well as the influence of fathers in society. In America, Father's Day was founded by Sonora Smart Dodd and celebrated on the third Sunday of June for the first time in 1910. In Catholic countries of Europe, it has been celebrated on March 19 as Saint Joseph's Day since the Middle Ages. It is held on various days in many parts of the world all throughout the year, often in the months of March, May, and June.

First Father's Day Celebrated
-- The first celebration of Father's Day as we know it today took place in Fairmont, West Virginia, on July 5, 1908. While a time to honor and celebrate fathers, Father's Day was inspired by tragedy. In December 1907, the Monongah mining disaster killed 361 miners, with 250 of these men being fathers. Grace Golden Clayton was one of the people who lost their fathers due to the mining disaster, and she suggested to her minister a special service be held to honor the fathers who were lost in this tragedy. This first Father's Day in Fairmont, unfortunately, did not lead to the holiday's celebration nationwide. The two main reasons that Father's Day failed to gain popularity at this point were because the event was not advertised outside of Fairmont, and the celebration took place only a day after the town's Independence Day festivities.
