Hello Community 👋
This year, Father's day is on Sunday 15th June. Me and the whole Community team would like to wish Dads and Father figures a wonderful Father's day! 😀
Over 100 years on from the first Father’s Day, the day is still one of celebration of all dads and a remembrance of those who have since passed. While the celebration is a personal preference that differs for each family, the core of the holiday is still just as true today: dads deserve to be celebrated for all their love and hard work! 💪
● Thailand celebrates Father’s Day on 5th December to celebrate the late King Bhumibol's birthday. Often considered the father of Thailand, the celebration now commemorates the king who passed away in 2016. Tradition states that everyone should wear yellow as it is the colour associated with Monday - the day the king was born.
● Coinciding with the Holy Ascension Day (which falls forty days after Easter), ‘Vatertag’ is a German public holiday. Usually followed by a bridge day on the following Friday, the four-day weekend means that the day is often celebrated with beer and good food.
● Father’s Day is celebrated a little differently in Russia, where it is celebrated on 23rd February. There it’s called ‘Defender of the Fatherland Day’.
Have a wonderful Father's day! 😄
