¡¡¡¡The idea for Father¡¯s Day started in 1909£®A woman named Sonora Dodd thought about starting a Father¡¯s Day holiday while she was listening to a Mother¡¯s Day speech at church£®She wanted a special day to give her father, William Smart£®Mr Smart¡¯s wife died while she was giving birth to their sixth child£®He raised the baby and his other five children on a farm£®
¡¡¡¡When she became an adult, Sonora Dodd understood how kind and loving her father had been while he was raising his six children alone£®She believed her father had worked very hard to make sure his children grew up healthy and strong£®Sonora¡¯s father was born in June£®So she chose to hold the first Father¡¯s Day celebration(Çì×£)on June 19th, 1910£®
¡¡¡¡Since 1966 the third Sunday in June has become a national Father¡¯s Day in America£®In early times, people wore red roses to show respect for fathers who were still living and white flowers for fathers who had died£®Today, Americans celebrate Father¡¯s Day in many different ways£®However the holiday is celebrated, the idea is for children to let their father know that he is loved£®
