絲絲柔柔的微風(fēng),傳去了節(jié)日的祝辭,飄向遠(yuǎn)方的你,愿你度過這美好的一切,父親節(jié)快樂。

Father's Day, contrary to popular misconception, was not established as a holiday in order to help greeting card manufacturers sell more cards. In fact when a “father's day” was first proposed there were no Father's Day cards!
父親節(jié)與普遍的誤解不同的是,它并非是一個為了幫助賀卡制作廠商銷售更多賀卡的節(jié)日。事實(shí)上,當(dāng)“父親節(jié)”的提議首先被提出時,父親節(jié)賀卡根本就不存在。
Mrs. John B Dodd, of Washington, first proposed the idea of a “father's day” in 1909. Mrs. Dodd wanted a special day to honor her father William, whose wife died while giving birth to their sixth child. Mr. Smart was left to raise the newborn and his other five children by himself on a rural farm in eastern Washington state. It was after Mrs. Dodd became an adult that she realized the strength and selflessness her father had shown in raising his children as a single parent.
華盛頓州的約翰.布魯斯.多德夫人在1909年首先提出了設(shè)立“父親節(jié)”的提議。多德夫人希望有一個特殊的日子來向她的父親———威廉.斯瑪特表示敬意。他的妻子在生他們第六個孩子時因難產(chǎn)而死。斯瑪特先生在華盛頓州東部鄉(xiāng)下的農(nóng)場里獨(dú)自養(yǎng)大了六個孩子。多德太太成人后她才意識到她的父親一個人養(yǎng)大孩子所表現(xiàn)的力量和無私。
The first Father's Day was observed on June 19,1910 in Washington. And it was in 1966 that President Lyndon Johnson officially declared the 3rd Sunday of June as Father's Day.
1910年的6月19日人們在華盛頓慶祝了第一個父親節(jié)。林登.約翰遜總統(tǒng)最終于1966年宣布每年六月的第3個星期天為父親節(jié)。
Father's Day has become a day to not only honor your father, but all men who act as a father figure. Stepfathers, uncles, grandfathers, and adult male friends are all honored on Father's Day.
父親節(jié)現(xiàn)在已經(jīng)成為向父親及所有扮演父親角色的人表達(dá)敬意的節(jié)日。繼父,伯父,祖父所有成年男性都將在父親節(jié)受到尊敬。
父親節(jié)(father's day)簡介
6月的第三個星期日是父親節(jié)。相對于母親節(jié),父親節(jié)是人們比較陌生的一個節(jié)日,是1910年在美國華盛頓州的士波肯市由杜德太太發(fā)起的。
而我國的父親節(jié)起源,要追溯到國民時代。民國三十四年的八月八日,上海聞人所發(fā)起了慶祝父親節(jié)的活動,市民立即響應(yīng),熱烈舉行慶祝活動。抗日戰(zhàn)爭勝利后,上海市各界名流仕紳,聯(lián)名請上海市政府轉(zhuǎn)呈中央政府,定“爸爸”諧音的八月八日為全國性的父親節(jié)。
雖然今日一般人對于父親節(jié)的慶祝活動,不像對母親節(jié)一般的重視與熱鬧,但是上帝在圣經(jīng)中教導(dǎo)我們對于父母的關(guān)愛卻是一致的,當(dāng)母親含辛茹苦地照顧我們時,父親也在努力地扮演著上帝所賦予他的溫柔角色;或許當(dāng)我們努力思考著該為父親買什么樣的禮物過父親節(jié)之時,不妨反省一下,我們是否愛我們的父親,像他曾為我們無私地付出一生呢?
