Father's Day is an annual celebration that gives children the opportunity to show the paternal figure in your life some love. Recognise the contribution of their Dads, Granddads, Father-Figures and Step-Dads to their lives, spoil them and say thank you!
When is Father's Day 2021?
Fathers Day takes place on 20 June - under the governments roadmap out of the third national lockdown the date falls a day before it is hoped that all limits on social interactions are lifted due to the coronavirus pandemic.
Why does the date of Father's Day change each year?
Father's Day takes place (in the UK) on the third Sunday in June. It originally stems from America when it was first celebrated in 1910 and in 1972 Richard Nixon signed Father's Day into law as a national holiday "Make this Father's Day an occasion for renewal of the love and gratitude we bear to our fathers, increasing and enduring through all the years." In 2022 it will fall on 19th June.
What day do other countries celebrate Father's Day?
The UK, Canada and the US observe Father's Day on the same day. Many other countries follow the Bible's religious observance of the Feast of Joseph, the father of Jesus Christ which is held on 19th March each year. This date is observed by many Catholic countries such as Spain where it is known a Dia del Padre, and Italy which celebrates the Festa del Papa. Australia and New Zealands commemorate the day on the first Sunday in September. Germany has Father's Day 40 days after Easter. Russia celebrates on 23 February each year.
What are Father's Day traditions?
Making a special effort to visit Dad on Father's Day is tradition, along with a card and a gift. A meal out at their favourite pub or restaurant or a their favourite lunch cooked at home is always a winner.
