History and Significance of Father’s Day Celebration
The idea of a special day to rejoice the journey of fatherhood was first introduced in 1910 Spokan, Washington. It took a lot of time for this day to be deemed to be as important as Mother’s Day and the first few attempts to honour Father’s Day were actually turned down by the majority of people and took some years for the trend to catch on and spread. The joyous celebrations are made on the third Sunday of June in most parts of the world including Pakistan. It is however also celebrated widely on different days by many other countries.
Although Father’s Day is not a public holiday in Pakistan, it is still a worthy occasion that has received affirmation from the recent presidential proclamation. Given the cultural significance of a father’s role in Pakistan, the commemoration of Father’s Day marks the celebration of an inspirational example of strength, sacrifice and responsibility; playing a crucial role in disciplining us and instilling the right ethics and moral values at every step of the way.
The Role a Father Plays and its Importance
The roles of fathers in the family and society at large cannot be underestimated. They are crucial because they form the pillar for family, and family is the basic unit of the society. Not forgetting the unfortunate families who lost their fathers but are still lucky to have fatherly-like figures in their lives to turn to. Perhaps an elder brother, an uncle or a father-in-law. Let’s not forget to appreciate the endless support and care they provided through time to fill in the void.
Here are some significant importance of fathers.
• The presence and activity of a father will help a child develop psychologically, physically, and emotionally.
• A father helps to set the emotional, religious, cultural, and educational tone of the family.
• Fathers are also responsible for instilling discipline in the family.
• A father also acts as the protector of the family against physical, emotional, and other forms of attack.
