6. Fast Facts...
  • Most countries across the globe celebrate Father's day on the third Sunday in June, with only Australia and New Zealand celebrating it on the first Sunday in September.
  • The idea for creating a day to honor fathers began in Spokane, Washington when a woman who had been raised by her father was attending a Mother's day sermon in 1909. Sonora Smart Dodd wanted her father to know how special he was to her.
  • The traditional flower for Father's Day is the rose, with red used to honour living dads and white to remember those who have passed on.
  • The necktie is the most common and famous Father's Day gift.
  • We take this day to honour fathers everywhere, and to bring families together!

Happy Father's Day!
