What is the origin of Father’s Day?
The fathers Day has existed since the Middle Ages, when it was celebrated on March 19, Saint Joseph’s Day (the father of Jesus). It took until 1952 for it to become in France a non-religious holiday, now established on the third Sunday in June. And the latter was instituted only twelve years after Mother’s Day! It was a lighter manufacturer (Flaminaire) who was the initiator, drawing inspiration from the United States where this “commercial” party had already existed since 1910. The advertising slogan of the time proclaimed: “Our dads told us, for Father’s Day, they all want a Flaminaire“. Yes, in this first half of the XXe century, it was well seen to offer gifts related to tobacco consumption to one’s father: cartridge of cigarette, pipe, lighter… Two years later, this celebration was made official by the public authorities who fixed it, as we saw him on the third Sunday of June. Since then, it has become an unmissable family event, a opportunity to remind his dad that we are thinking of him.
Is Father’s Day a public holiday?
Father’s Day is not a holiday. But it’s just like! Indeed, the latter always taking place on a Sunday (which is a public holiday), the result remains the same. And the whole family can get together for a Sunday and unforgettable Father’s Day…
