Father’s Day 2024: What can I gift for this important occasion?
Next week, on March 19, we celebrate the Father’s Day. Though being there is the greatest gift, what else can we give our dads to make the day even more memorable? Find out our suggestions.
On March 19, it is celebrated the Father’s Day. What is the best gift for this occasion?
Father’s Day was primarily a religious celebration until recently. Now it has become commercialised with gifts and cards being given.
Some people follow the tradition of wearing a red rose to signify that their father is still alive or a white rose to signify that he has passed away. On this day, other men who have taken on parental responsibilities, such as grandfathers or uncles, are frequently recognised as well. In honour of fathers, some Roman Catholics have continued to celebrate St. Joseph’s Day on March 19.
Father’s Day’s History: Ancient Fatherhood Festivals
Like mothers, fathers have been honoured in many cultures throughout history. Similar to how mothers celebrate Mothering Day, fathers were honoured on St. Joseph’s Day in mediaeval Europe.
Surprisingly, a tablet written by a son to his father in Babylonia bears a tribute to fatherhood that is nearly 4,000 years old and expresses wishes for good health and a long life—just like modern Father’s Day cards.
