1. The Ancient Origins of Father's Day

🔎 Did you know Father's Day has ancient roots? In ancient Rome, the Parentalia festival honored both parents, including fathers. Held in February, this week-long event featured offerings and rituals at ancestors' tombs. The Parentalia may be one of the earliest precursors to our modern Father's Day celebrations. 

2. A History of Celebrating Dads

🧿 Did you know the earliest known celebration dates back 4,000 years to Babylon? A young boy named Elmesu carved a heartfelt message on a clay tablet, wishing his father good health and a long life. This Mesopotamian "card" is the oldest record of Father's Day appreciation. Elmesu's clay card reminds us that the love between a child and their father is a bond as old as humanity itself.

3. Daughterly Love Started It All

❤️ Did you know Father's Day started in the USA? Inspired by Mother's Day, Sonora Smart Dodd from Spokane, Washington, founded Father's Day to honor her father, a Civil War veteran who single-handedly raised six children. The first celebration took place on June 19, 1910. Father's Day took over 60 years to become an official U.S. holiday when President Nixon signed it into law in 1972.

4. Global Dads Get Gifts

🌎 Did you know Father's Day has over 111 national twists worldwide? The US, Canada, and UK stick to the classic third Sunday in June, while Australia celebrates in September. French kids craft cards in June. Germany's Vatertag is an Ascension Day hiking and beer fest. Thailand celebrates the King's December birthday. Brazil feasts on the second August Sunday. South Korea combines both parents into one May 8th "Parents' Day. 

5. The Meaning Behind Father's Day Roses

🌹 Did you know roses are the official Father's Day flower? Red roses symbolize our love for our amazing dads, while white ones honor those we miss. This touching tradition was started by Sonora Smart Dodd, who chose the rose because it was her father’s favorite flower. No matter which rose you choose, presenting Dad with this timeless floral gem is a heartfelt tradition. 

🌟 Whether you're planning a backyard BBQ or a special outing, go ahead surprising your dad with these fun facts and make this year's celebration extra memorable. Don't forget the most important part – telling Dad how much you appreciate him! Happy Father's Day! 💌🥰🎁
