[Seasonal News] The Beginning of Father's Day

What day is June 19th?
The correct answer is "Father's Day"
By the way, do you know how Father's Day began?
Mother's Day originated in America, and Father's Day actually originated in America as well.
It all began about 110 years ago when a woman named Sonora Smart Dodd from Washington state in the United States wondered, "Why is there a Mother's Day but no Father's Day?"
Father's Day was only recognized as a national holiday in the United States 50 years ago, so it is a surprisingly new commemoration day.
Sonora created Father's Day in the month of her father's birthday to express her gratitude to her father who raised six children.
It then spread to other parts of the United States, including Washington State, Europe, and Asia, and has now become established here in Japan.
Sunflowers and yellow roses are often given as flowers for Father's Day, but it's also a good idea to give seasonal flowers that suit your father.
