Why is Australian father’s Day different?
Unlike other countries that celebrate Father’s Day on the third Sunday of June, Australia observes this special occasion on the first Sunday of September. But why is it different?
The history of Father’s Day in Australia dates back to 1936 when an Australian woman named Mrs. Sonora Dodd decided to honor her father, who had raised six children single-handedly after the death of his wife. She was inspired by the celebrations of Mother’s Day and believed that fathers deserved to be recognized and appreciated in a similar manner. She suggested that Father’s Day be celebrated on her father’s birthday, which was on September 6. Her idea was soon adopted, and Father’s Day became an official holiday in Australia.
Since then, Father’s Day has been celebrated on the first Sunday of September in Australia. It is a day when families get together to honor and pamper their fathers with gifts, cards, and special meals. The day is a reminder of the selfless love and support that fathers provide to their children and the sacrifices they make to ensure their happiness and well-being.
