1、父亲节英语介绍：
happy fathers daythe origin of fathers day is not clear.
some say that it began with a church service in west virginia in 1908.
others say the first fathers day ceremony was held in vancouver, washington.
regardless of when the first true fathersday occurred, the strongest promoter of the holiday was mrs.
bruce john dodd of spokane, washington.
she thought of the idea for fathers day while listening to a mothers day sermon in 1909.
sonora wanted a special day to honor her father, william smart.
smart, who was a civil war veteran, was widowed when his wife died while giving birth to their sixth child.
mr.smart was left to raise the newborn and his other five children by himself on a rural farm in eastern washington state.
after sonora became an adult she realized the selflessness her father had shown in raising his children as a single parent.
it was her father that made all the parental sacrifices and was, in the eyes of his daughter, a courageous, selfless, and loving man.
in 1909, mrs.dodd approached her own minister and others in spokane about having a church service dedicated to fathers on june 5, her fathers birthday.
that date was too soon for her minister to prepare the service, so he spoke a few weeks later on june 19th.
from then on, the state of washington celebrated the third sunday in june as fathers day.
children made special desserts, or visited their fathers if they lived apart.
in early times, wearing flowers was a traditional way of celebrating fathers day.
mrs.dodd favored the red rose to honor a father still living, while a white flower honored a deceased dad.
berringer, who also held fathers day celebrations in washington state as early as 1912, chose a white lilac as the fathers day flower.
states and organizations began lobbying congress to declare an annual fathers day.
in 1916, president woodrow wilson approved of this idea, but it was not until 1924 when president calvin coolidge made it a national event to establish more intimate relations between fathers and their children and to impress upon fathers the full measure of their obligations.
since then, fathers had been honored and recognized by their families throughout the country on the third sunday in june.
in 1966 president lyndon johnson signed a presidential proclamation declaring the 3rd sunday of june as fathers day and put the official stamp on a celebration that was going on for almost half a century.
when children cant visit their fathers or take them out to dinner, they send a greeting card.
traditionally, fathers prefer greeting cards that are not too sentimental.
most greeting cards are whimsical so fathers laugh when they open them.
some give heartfelt thanks for being there whenever the child needed dad.
