| Father's Day is a celebration inaugurated in the early twentieth
century to complement Mother's Day in celebrating fatherhood and male
parenting, and to honor and commemorate fathers and forefathers.
| Father's Day is celebrated on a variety of dates worldwide and
typically involves gift-giving, and special dinners to fathers and
family-oriented activities. In 2008, it was celebrated on June 15 in
many countries. It originated in Spokane, Washington.
|
| Although Mrs. John B. Dodd of Washington was the first to solicit the
idea of having a Father's Day observance (while listening to a Mother's
Day sermon in church), the very first Father's Day observance didn't
transpire for many years.
| 
| That first observance was held in a church in
Fairmont, West Virginia. "Dr. Robert Webb of West Virginia is believed
to have conducted the first Father's Day service on July 5, 1908 at the
Central Church of Fairmont".
