Happy Father's Day

The Father's Day is celebrated to honor our fathers for everything they do for us through out their life. In 2009, Fathers Day will be celebrated on June 21st.
Father's Day is a celebration inaugurated in the early twentieth century to complement Mother's Day in celebrating fatherhood and male parenting, and to honour and commemorate fathers and forefathers. Father's Day is celebrated on a variety of dates worldwide and typically involves gift-giving, special dinners to fathers, and family-oriented activities.

* In Australia, Father's Day is celebrated on the First Sunday in September.
* Father's Day in Canada, is celebrated on the third Sunday in June.
* In the U.K. Father's Day is celebrated on the third Sunday in June.

The first observance of Father's Day is believed to have been held on July 5, 1908 in a church located in Fairmont, West Virginia, by Dr. Robert Webb of West Virginia at the Williams Memorial Methodist Episcopal Church South of Fairmont. The church still exists under the name of Central United Methodist Church.
