Father’s Day is celebrated on different days around the world, which is interesting because each country has its own traditions. For example, in most countries, such as the US, Canada, and the UK, Father’s Day falls on the third Sunday in June. This is a time when children thank their fathers for their care, support, and love often by giving gifts, preparing breakfast, or simply spending time together.
In Italy, Spain, and Portugal, Father’s Day is celebrated on March 19, St. Joseph’s Day. Here, the holiday is more religious, but it is also intertwined with family traditions. In Germany, fathers are honored on Vatertag, which always falls on Christian Ascension Day, and is often a day when men get together for picnics or short hikes.
In Australia and New Zealand, Father’s Day is celebrated on the first Sunday in September, which is a bit unusual for those who are used to June. In Thailand, however, this holiday is associated with the king’s birthday on December 5 and is partly a national holiday.
Regardless of the date or traditions, the essence remains the same it is a day to say “thank you” to dad, show him your love and support, spend time together, and make him happy. After all, parental care knows no boundaries, and it can be celebrated at any time.
