On the occasion of Father`s Day, search engine giant Google Sunday wished `Happy Father`s Day` with a special doodle. In India, Father`s Day is celebrated on the third Sunday in June. This year, Father`s Day has arrived on June 19.
Google wrote, "Whether they are near or far, make Dad a little piece of art from your heart in today`s interactive, digital card-maker Doodle. Happy Father`s Day!"
Why is Father`s Day celebrated on the third Sunday of June?
The special day was founded by Sonora Smart Dodd in the US. Sonora`s father William Jackson Smart was a war veteran who selflessly raised six children all alone. Sonora had heard about how Anna Jarvis had created International Mother`s Day in honor of her mother. So she told the pastor of her church that should be something similar to celebrate fathers.
Father`s Day is celebrated worldwide to honour the importance of dads in their children`s lives. In most countries, the day is celebrated on the third Sunday of June, but in Spain and Portugal, it is celebrated on March 19. In Russia, Taiwan, and Thailand, father`s day is celebrated on February 23, August 8, and December 5, respectively.
