A short history of Father's Day

The first Father's Day celebrations in the United States took place in 1910 in Spokane, Washington, organised by Sonora Smart Dodd, who wanted to honour her father, a Civil War veteran who raised six children. President Richard Nixon made it a permanent national day in 1972, on the third Sunday of June.

Many countries share the June date, but not all: Australia and New Zealand celebrate on the first Sunday of September, Germany on Ascension Day, and Spain, Italy and Portugal on 19 March, Saint Joseph's Day.

How the countdown is worked out

The target is midnight at the start of Father's Day in your device's time zone. The time left is the difference between that moment and now, split into whole days (86,400 seconds each), then hours, minutes and seconds. Because it uses real elapsed time, a daylight saving change before the day is handled automatically. Sleeps are the calendar days from today to the day itself, and weekdays to go count Monday to Friday dates from tomorrow up to the day before. The day after the holiday, the countdown switches to next year.
