Father's Day was originally born in Washington, the US in 1909. It is said that the beginning of Father's Day was triggered by one father who raised up 6 children all by himself.
Mother's Day had just started, but there wasn't a day for fathers back then.
After the father passed away, his daughter thought that there should be Father's Day to show an appreciation to fathers, and started to celebrate within a church service.
Father's Day is the third Sunday of June in Japan, USA, UK, etc. That means Father's Day is 19 June this year.
However, it is not the same for many other countries.
For example, South Korea which is located next to Japan celebrate on the 8th of May as a day for appreciation to parents.
Taiwan -which is also a nearby country of Japan- celebrate father's day on the 8th of August in relation to the pronunciation of both "8" and "father" while Hong Kong and China celebrate it on the same day as Japan.
The first Sunday of September for Australia and the second Sunday of November for Sweden.
Interestingly, it is enacted by a saint in Italy, and it is the 19th of March which is the day of husband (Giuseppe) of saint Mary.
Saints are allotted to every single day in Italy.
In Germany, rumor has it fathers drink beer all day long drifting from bar to bar on Father's Day the first Thursday from the 6th Sunday after the Easter.
Depending on where you are or where you are from, it seems there are a variety of Father's Day gifts.
