Father's day gift
1:Father's day history
On July 19, 1910, the governor of the U.S. state of Washington proclaimed
the nation’s first “Father’s Day.” However, it was not until 1972, 58 years
after President Woodrow Wilson made Mother’s Day official, that the day became
a nationwide holiday in the United States.
The
“Mother’s Day” we celebrate today has its origins in the
peace-and-reconciliation campaigns of the post-Civil War era. During the 1860s,
at the urging of activist Ann Reeves Jarvis, one divided West Virginia town
celebrated “Mother’s Work Days” that brought together the mothers of
Confederate and Union soldiers. In 1870, the activist Julia Ward Howe issued a
“Mother’s Day Proclamation” calling on a “general congress of women” to
“promote the alliance of the different nationalities, the amicable settlement
of international questions, [and] the great and general interests of peace.”
However, Mother’s Day did not become a commercial holiday until 1908, when--inspired by Jarvis’s daughter Anna, who wanted to honor her own mother by making Mother’s Day a national holiday--the John Wanamaker department store in Philadelphia sponsored a service dedicated to mothers in its auditorium. Thanks in large part to this association with retailers, who saw great potential for profit in the holiday, Mother’s Day caught on right away. In 1909, 45 states observed the day, and in 1914, President Woodrow Wilson approved a resolution that made the second Sunday in May a holiday in honor of “that tender, gentle army, the mothers of America.”
