丝丝柔柔的微风，传去了节日的祝辞，飘向远方的你，愿你度过这美好的一切，父亲节快乐。

　　Father's Day, contrary to popular misconception, was not established as a holiday in order to help greeting card manufacturers sell more cards. In fact when a “father's day” was first proposed there were no Father's Day cards!

　　父亲节与普遍的误解不同的是，它并非是一个为了帮助贺卡制作厂商销售更多贺卡的节日。事实上，当“父亲节”的提议首先被提出时，父亲节贺卡根本就不存在。

　　Mrs. John B Dodd, of Washington, first proposed the idea of a “father's day” in 1909. Mrs. Dodd wanted a special day to honor her father William, whose wife died while giving birth to their sixth child. Mr. Smart was left to raise the newborn and his other five children by himself on a rural farm in eastern Washington state. It was after Mrs. Dodd became an adult that she realized the strength and selflessness her father had shown in raising his children as a single parent.

　　华盛顿州的约翰.布鲁斯.多德夫人在1909年首先提出了设立“父亲节”的提议。多德夫人希望有一个特殊的日子来向她的父亲———威廉.斯玛特表示敬意。他的妻子在生他们第六个孩子时因难产而死。斯玛特先生在华盛顿州东部乡下的农场里独自养大了六个孩子。多德太太成人后她才意识到她的父亲一个人养大孩子所表现的力量和无私。

　　The first Father's Day was observed on June 19,1910 in Washington. And it was in 1966 that President Lyndon Johnson officially declared the 3rd Sunday of June as Father's Day.

　　1910年的6月19日人们在华盛顿庆祝了第一个父亲节。林登.约翰逊总统最终于1966年宣布每年六月的第3个星期天为父亲节。

　　Father's Day has become a day to not only honor your father, but all men who act as a father figure. Stepfathers, uncles, grandfathers, and adult male friends are all honored on Father's Day.

　　父亲节现在已经成为向父亲及所有扮演父亲角色的人表达敬意的节日。继父，伯父，祖父所有成年男性都将在父亲节受到尊敬。

　　父亲节(father's day)简介

　　6月的第三个星期日是父亲节。相对于母亲节，父亲节是人们比较陌生的一个节日，是1910年在美国华盛顿州的士波肯市由杜德太太发起的。

　　而我国的父亲节起源，要追溯到国民时代。民国三十四年的八月八日，上海闻人所发起了庆祝父亲节的活动，市民立即响应，热烈举行庆祝活动。抗日战争胜利后，上海市各界名流仕绅，联名请上海市政府转呈中央政府，定“爸爸”谐音的八月八日为全国性的父亲节。

　　虽然今日一般人对于父亲节的庆祝活动，不像对母亲节一般的重视与热闹，但是上帝在圣经中教导我们对于父母的关爱却是一致的，当母亲含辛茹苦地照顾我们时，父亲也在努力地扮演着上帝所赋予他的温柔角色;或许当我们努力思考着该为父亲买什么样的礼物过父亲节之时，不妨反省一下，我们是否爱我们的父亲，像他曾为我们无私地付出一生呢?
