Father's Day in the United States is on the third Sunday of June. It celebrates the great contribution that fathers make to their children's lives. Many people send cards or give gifts to their fathers.

There are a lot of activities that have inspired the idea of Father's Day. One of these was the start of the Mother's Day tradition in the first ten years of the 20th century.

The first time Father's Day was held in June was in 1910.Father's Day was officially recognized as a holiday in 1972 by President Nixon.

Mother's Day is a time of memory and celebration for Mom. It is a time of breakfast in bed and family gatherings.

The earliest Mother's Day celebrations came from the spring celebrations of old Greece. During the 1600's, England celebrated a day called “Mothering Sunday”．

During this time many of the poor in England worked as servants for the rich. As they worked far away from their homes, the servants would live at the houses of their employers(雇主). On Mothering Sunday the servants would have the day off and were encouraged to return home and spend the day with their mothers.

In the United States Mother's Day was first suggested in 1872 by Julia Ward Howe as a day offered to peace. Ms. Howe would hold Mother's Day meetings in Boston, Mass every year.

In 1907 Ana Jarvis, from Philadelphia, began a movement to set a national Mother's Day, Ms. Jarvis asked her mother's church(教堂)in Grafton, West Virginia to celebrate Mother's Day on the second anniversary(周年紀(jì)念) of her mother's death, the 2nd Sunday of May. By the next year Mother's Day was also celebrated in Philadelphia.
