Celebrating Father's Day.

Father’s Day June 19th 

Father’s day, honoring fatherhood and paternal bonds as well as the influence of fathers in society, began in Catholic countries of Europe, and has been celebrated on March 19 as Saint Joseph's Day since the Middle Ages.

In America Father’s Day began in 1910, two years after the first official celebration of Mother’s Day. The holiday began thanks to a woman named Sonora Smart Dodd, who had been raised with her siblings by her widower father, Civil War veteran William Jackson Smart. Inspired by how her father rose to the challenge of parenting alone, Sonora Smart Dodd thought there should be a special day to recognize dads as well as moms, according to History.com. Dodd campaigned with local government officials, churches and other local organizations, and in 1910, Washington state celebrated its first official Father’s Day on June 19th, marking the first Father’s Day celebration in the country.

Presidents Woodrow Wilson and Calvin Coolidge recognized the significance of the day, but it wasn’t until 1970 that Congress and President Lyndon Johnson designated the third Sunday in June as Father’s Day “urging our people to offer public and private expressions of such day to the abiding love and gratitude which they bear for their fathers.”

In 1972, President Richard Nixon signed a law declaring that Father's Day be celebrated annually on the third Sunday in June. It has been an official, permanent national holiday ever since, except in Australia, New Zealand, Fiji and Papua New Guinea where it is celebrated in September. They did not want to wait a year to celebrate Dad. 

The Chinese community around the world honors fathers and father figures in June with America. Although in Taiwan is it celebrated on August 8th the eighth day of the eighth month because 8 (ba) is the same word as father.

Here is how it is typically celebrated: 


Step1 Wish your father "Happy Father’s Day" as soon as he wakes up in the morning.

Step2 Offer him a bouquet of fresh flowers and a delicious Flower Tea from Wing Hop Fung

  • Step3 Give Ba a fancy gift that he would really appreciate along with a card having an emotional message. Get him a treat that he wouldn’t spend to buy for himself. For example, a quality Whiskey: 

Step4 Prepare his favorite breakfast. You can make local food, like bings (pancakes), tang (soup) or mian (noodles), if he likes. Serve it hot. Share it with him for more enjoyment.

Step5 Have lunch together. Make the atmosphere joyous by sharing some funny jokes or family games

Step6 Click pictures to make the day memorable.

Step7 Select a family restaurant for dinner or cook his favorite meal at home. 

Step8 Colors most associated with Father’s Day or fathers in general are traditionally black, white, blue or dark shades of red. We suggest that you serve a fragrant delicious and calming red rose bud tea to honor a living father or chrysanthemum flower tea to honor a father who has died.

What is Lorem Ipsum? Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum. Why do we use it? It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using 'Content here, content here', making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for 'lorem ipsum' will uncover many web sites still in their infancy. Various versions have evolved over the years, sometimes by accident, sometimes on purpose (injected humour and the like).
