In order for the personality of the child to be fully formed, the presence of both parents during the upbringing is necessary. Despite the fact that the main responsibility falls on the shoulders of the mother, the role of the father should not be underestimated. A child who grew up in a complete family feels the love of both parents. Consequently, a strong psyche is formed. But often the role of the father in the family is downplayed. Some believe that a woman herself can raise her child. There is no doubt that this may be the case. But it cannot be denied that a child does not need paternal affection. This is the only way to understand the role of each parent in the social cell.
When is Father's Day in 2017 in Russia, what date
Today, Father's Day is celebrated in 80 countries around the world. This day is also celebrated in Russia, although it is not a public holiday. The date of the holiday is floating. As for 2017, Father's Day will be celebrated June 18.
The history of the holiday - Father's Day
So, at the beginning of the twentieth century, an American, whose name is Sonora Smart, noticed that there was no holiday in the calendar that was dedicated to fathers. She grew up in a large family. As a child, Sonora had grief: her mother died, and the upbringing of six children fell on the shoulders of her father, besides, the whole household remained. Despite the fact that the father managed to raise all the children who were able to achieve a lot in life. Sonora told everyone about her father. The authorities also supported the initiative to celebrate the father's holiday.
So, the date of the celebration was set on the birthday of Sonora's father - June 5th. However, then the celebration dragged on, and the first events were held on June 19, 1910. Time passed, the holiday changed geography. Then Father's Day began to be celebrated in all states of America. In the middle of the twentieth century, Father's Day was officially celebrated in 10 countries of the world. In the middle of the century, traditions passed to our country. And now, every child would like to congratulate his father on this wonderful holiday.
An unopened rosebud is a symbol of Father's Day. The bud is usually inserted into the buttonhole on the jacket, glued on the left side as a symbol of love between children and fathers. Single dads deserve the most attention on this day. In many countries where this day is celebrated, people collect material donations, hold contests, and then gifts are distributed.
The attention of their children is the most important gift that can only be given to a father on this day. Therefore, do not forget to congratulate your father on this holiday on June 18, 2017.
Date in 2019: June 16, Sunday.
The closest and dearest people in the life of every person will always be parents. Therefore, the holidays associated with mom and dad are celebrated with pleasure, regardless of age. But if almost everyone knows about Mother's Day, March 8, February 23, then only a few know about the new holiday, when it is customary to congratulate dads. Let's try to figure out what kind of holiday it is - Father's Day, and when it is customary to celebrate it.
In order to express our gratitude and respect for the person who gave life, puts his soul into education, provides materially and supports spiritually, a special holiday dedicated to beloved dads was invented. Father's Day is celebrated in more than a hundred countries around the world, but there is no international official date. It turns out that in Russia, few people know about its existence, and even more so, what date is celebrated.
history of the holiday
Fathers Day first appeared in America. Moreover, the idea appeared during the preparation for Mother's Day. In the small town of Spokane, local resident Sonora Dodd expressed the opinion that not all children have mothers, many are raised only by fathers. It turns out that they are deprived not only of maternal love, but also of the opportunity to participate in the holiday. So why aren't fathers who put as much effort and love into their children's upbringing as mothers? The idea was supported by the public.
Initially, the date of the holiday was set on June 5th. But the preparation was delayed, and the date of the celebration had to be postponed to a later date. As a result, the date when the day of the Popes was celebrated for the first time in the world was June 19, 1910.
Gradually, the idea of honoring dads along with moms began to spread to neighboring towns, and already in 1966 the holiday received national status in America. Then the date was approved, that is, the day of celebration, which falls on the third Sunday in June.
Celebration walks the planet
The idea of honoring the fathers appealed to people on the European continent as well. The British, Irish and French were the first to join the celebration.
There was even an official symbol. On this day, dads pin an unblown red rosebud on their jackets, which symbolizes the love of their children.
When is Father's Day in Russia
In Russia, the deputies of Yakutia were the first to propose celebrating Father's Day. After long discussions, April, the first Sunday, was chosen as the date of the holiday.
The idea of the celebration itself belongs to the public organization "Yal" (Family), which proposed to officially establish the holiday of the popes.
Gradually, the idea of celebrating Father's Day became popular in other regions. But in different regions, the date of the celebration was chosen individually.
Tab. 2. When Father's Day is celebrated in Russia
| The subject of the Russian Federation | the date | When established |
| Yakutia (Republic of Sakha) | April, first Sunday in April | 1999 |
| Magadan region | May, second Sunday | 2001 |
| Ulyanovsk region | 26 July | 2005 |
| Volgograd region | Nov. 1 | 2006 |
| Vologda region | December, first Sunday | 2007 |
| Altai region | April, last Sunday | 2009 |
| Arkhangelsk region | November, third Sunday | 2009 |
| Yamal-Nenets District | June, third Sunday | 2012 |
| Kursk region | 12-th of September | 2015 |
In addition, in most regions the holiday began to be celebrated, but was not legalized.
It turns out that in Russia there is no single day that can be recognized as a holiday dedicated to dads.
In order to spread the experience of the fathers of Yakutia, the delegates of the 2nd Congress of the "League of Fathers of Yakutia" adopted a resolution in which they call on the Government of Russia to establish the All-Russian Day of Fathers.
It turns out that back in 2015, a corresponding draft was prepared, in which it was proposed to set the last Sunday of October as the date of the holiday. But the process has not received a logical development.
Father's Day in Russia in 2019 will be celebrated in more than 20 regions. The holiday is in demand and helps parents understand that fatherhood is not only a great responsibility, but also hard, painstaking work.
Official events and folk traditions
In some regional cities, a competition is held throughout the year, thanks to which the winners are determined - worthy of the pope's award. During the celebrations, they are awarded awards. The most honorable award is considered to be the title "For fidelity to paternal duty."
Since 2014, the capital has also joined the celebration. It hosts an annual festival called Papa Fest. Moreover, the event is supported by the administration.
In families that support the idea and simply know about such a wonderful celebration, it is customary not only to congratulate the fathers, but also to give gifts. Do not forget to say words of gratitude and give a present to your dads. It's so nice to receive a postcard or a handmade craft from a baby. And even if your own children are already growing up, you should tell your parent: “Thank you.” Such modest gratitude is much more valuable than expensive gifts.

Dad's Day 2018 when is celebrated: the history of the holiday
Like many international holidays, Father's Day comes from the USA. After the approval of Mother's Day in the States, activist Sonora Todd took the initiative to approve Father's Day as well, in order to thank her dad, who raised six children himself, providing them with his support and giving them a decent education. The girl came to the mayor of her native city with a request that her father's birthday be the basis of the holiday, when all people could congratulate their fathers, paying tribute to them. From Sonora's hometown, the tradition spread throughout the area. And already in 1966, Father's Day in the United States became an official holiday.
Father's Day, of course, is very important not only for those families in which the father is the only parent, but also for full-fledged families. Father's Day, celebrated on June 18, 2017, helps children once again express their love and respect for their dear fathers and show how important and valuable they are to them, to show that their care and confidence are a reliable foundation for a strong family!

Today we have a good reason to celebrate the efforts of our beloved men in raising children, because June 17 is International Father's Day.It is noteworthy that we owe the birth of this holiday to a woman, namely US citizen Sonora Louise Smart Dodd. Her father, William Jackson Smart, was a farmer and lived with his family near Spokane, Washington. He raised Sonora and his five other daughters and sons alone. Jackson's wife died during her sixth childbirth. But William didn't give up. He raised all the kids and gave them everything he could give.
Sonora, however, like her brothers and sisters, was very grateful to her father for her childhood. But she could not find a worthy manifestation of her feelings until she found herself in the church. It happened in 1909 on Mother's Day. Then the woman thought that honoring mothers is, of course, good, but what about fathers? Moreover, Sonora had only a dad who cared about his children no less than any mother.
Dodd wrote a petition to the local authorities with a request to establish a new holiday -. Having familiarized themselves with the applicant's life story, the administration staff came to a unanimous decision on this issue. A year later, in 1910, they began to prepare for the celebrations. At first, the holiday was scheduled for June 5, the day when William Smart was born. However, no matter how the authorities were in a hurry, they still did not manage to do everything necessary to organize the festivities before June 5. Therefore, the celebration was postponed to June 19. When Fathers Day became popular in the state, then throughout America, and then in Canada, it was decided to celebrate it on the third Sunday of June.
Despite the fact that the inhabitants of the American continent fell in love with Father's Day, and they celebrated it every year, for a long 62 years the holiday was not recognized as official. Although, we must pay tribute, congressmen and even President Calvin Coolidge tried to legitimize the celebration. But they were all men, and therefore feared that they could be accused of bias. However, another president, Richard Nixon, was not afraid of gossip, and in 1972, with one stroke of the pen, documented Father's Day.
Traditionally, on this June day, both adults and kids surround their dads with special attention and care. Usually, fathers are presented with a bouquet of scarlet roses as a gift, and white flowers are placed on the graves of deceased parents. In addition, men receive cards with warm words from their loved ones, families go on picnics or to restaurants.
Today, Father's Day celebrations take place in more than fifty countries around the world. However, in each state, in addition to this, their own "daddy days" are also celebrated.
For example, in Germany, Father's Day (or men's day) always coincides with the Ascension of the Lord (this year it is May 10), so it has already passed there. So the German men have already managed to get out into nature, moreover, without their wives and drink a mug or two of foamy drink.
In Italy, Father's Day is tied to the day they honor Saint Giuseppe (March 19). Italian men are given expensive wine on this holiday. Closer to the holiday date, the country even releases a special list of drinks that are recommended to be purchased as a gift for the strong half of humanity. In addition, Italian women always attach perfume, a tie or other accessory to a bottle of wine.
In Lithuania, Father's Day has also already died down. He was there on June 3 (the first Sunday in June). In this country, the holiday became official only a few years ago, and celebrations on its occasion are much more modest than on Mother's Day.
But the people of Thailand have yet to celebrate Dad's Day. Thais honor fathers on December 5, the birthday of King Bhumibol Adulyadej or Rama IX. According to the citizens of this country, just as the emperor is the head of the state, so the father is the head of his family. Unfortunately, in 2016, Rama passed away, and therefore magnificent celebrations on the occasion of Father's Day have not been held for 2 years now.
In Bulgaria this year fathers will be congratulated on December 26th. The feast of the popes there always coincides with the religious date dedicated to Joseph the Betrothed. The same Joseph who was betrothed to the Virgin Mary, who gave birth to Jesus Christ.
Brazilians will honor their fathers on August 12th. Back in the mid-1950s, journalist Silvio Bering suggested that local authorities celebrate this holiday on the day of St. Joachim, the grandfather of Jesus, who, by the way, is the patron saint of all dads and grandfathers.
In South Korea, Father and Mother's Day is celebrated on the same day (May 8). Koreans give flowers to their parents, and recently it has become popular to pay for various cosmetic procedures for elderly ancestors.
As for Russia, Father's Day has not yet been officially fixed here. However, some celebrations on the third Sunday of June have already been held for several years. For example, the PAPA FEST festival has been held in the capital since 2014, all sorts of lectures and seminars on the topic of fatherhood are organized, as well as fundraising for low-income families and children from orphanages.
