FATHERS DAY IS TREATED DIFFERENTLY

Father’s Day is celebrated on the third Sunday of June. It’s a widely recognized occasion where children express appreciation for their fathers with cards, gifts, and family gatherings. It became an official national holiday in 1972.

2. United Kingdom
Similar to the U.S., the UK observes Father’s Day on the third Sunday in June. It is not a public holiday, but many families mark the occasion with gifts, meals, and outings, showing appreciation for paternal figures.

3. Germany
In Germany, Father’s Day (Vatertag) is celebrated on Ascension Day, 40 days after Easter, which is a public holiday. It often involves men going on hiking trips or wagon-pulling beer excursions, making it a very social and male-focused day.

4. Thailand
Father’s Day in Thailand is celebrated on December 5, the birthday of the late King Bhumibol Adulyadej, who was seen as a father figure. Traditionally, children give their fathers canna flowers and wear yellow, the King’s color.

5. Australia
Father’s Day in Australia is held on the first Sunday of September. It’s a family-oriented celebration where children give gifts and cards, and schools often host activities leading up to the day.

6. Mexico
Celebrated on the third Sunday of June, Father’s Day (Día del Padre) includes family gatherings, meals, and sometimes marathons or public events. While not as commercialized as Mother’s Day, it’s gaining popularity.

7. Brazil
Father’s Day (Dia dos Pais) falls on the second Sunday in August. Children honor their fathers with gifts, handmade cards, and time spent together. Churches often hold special masses as well.

8. Japan
On the third Sunday of June, Japanese families celebrate Father’s Day with thoughtful gifts such as sake, clothing, or gourmet treats. It’s a quiet, respectful day compared to Mother’s Day.

9. India
Father’s Day is observed on the third Sunday of June, mainly in urban areas. It’s becoming more popular with Western influence, and children often present cards or organize small surprises.

10. Russia
Russia does not have a traditional Father’s Day, but Defender of the Fatherland Day (February 23) serves a similar purpose. It honors men, especially military veterans and fathers, with national pride and gifts.

Each country adds its cultural flavor, but the common theme is respect, love, and recognition for fathers and father figures.
