Every year, Father’s Day is marked on the
third Sunday of June in both the UK and
the USA, making the date Sunday, June 17
this year.

27.

Several theories tells that Father’s Day, with the first known
observations dating back to the Middle Ages.
Catholic Europe marked Father’s Day on St Joseph’s Day in
recognition of the figure married to Mary, Jesus’ mother, and became
his legal paternal guardian.
Some Catholic or Christian countries, including Spain, continue to
adopt this date today in recognition.
Father’s Day was later taken to the Americas by the Spanish and
Portuguese, but the tradition did not become prominent in the USA
outside of religious circles until the 20th century.

28.

But another theory says Father’s Day was born out of the
tragic Monongah mining disaster.
The disaster was the USA’s worst mining disaster in
history, killing 362 men, 210 of whom were fathers.
One daughter who lost her dad, Grace Golden Clayton,
suggested a memorial day for the dead to her local
Methodist pastor and the first Father’s Day took place on
July 5, 1908.
The event was largely confined to the region but two years
later, the daughter of a Civil War veteran raised the idea of
an annual celebration after hearing a sermon about
Mother’s Day.
In the UK, the date entered into British popular culture
sometime after the Second World War.

29.

On Father's Day, many people make a special effort to visit their
father. They often take or send cards and gifts. Common Father's
Day gifts are ties, socks, underwear, sweaters, slippers and other
items of clothing. Other people give tools for household maintenance
or garden work, luxury food items or drinks

The pilgrims celebrated the first
Thanksgiving Day in the fall of 1621.
The pilgrims sailed to America on
board the "Mayflower" ship for
religious freedom. They were among
the first European settlers in America.
There were people living in America
before the pilgrims arrived. These
people were the Native American
Indians.
The pilgrims first winter in the New World was very difficult. They had
arrived too late to grow many crops. Without fresh food half of the pilgrims
died. The following spring the Indians taught the pilgrims how to hunt, fish,
plant and survive in America. The crops did well and in the fall of 1621
pilgrims had a great harvest. They were thankful and decided to celebrate with
a Thanksgiving feast. They prepared a dinner of turkey, corn, beans and
pumpkins. They invited their Indian friends to share this feast. The Indians
brought food for the feast too (they even brought popcorn!)

Does the UK celebrate Thanksgiving?
Thanksgiving is an important festival and for many kick-starts the
holiday season, the UK doesn`t celebrate the day to quite the same as

moon which takes place closest to the Autumn Equinox.
At London’s St Paul`s Cathedral, there is a morning Thanksgiving Day
service open to all who wish to attend.

food, such as turkey, pumpkin pie or chowder.
