Father's Day 2026 is set to be celebrated on June 21, a date that is recognized in various countries around the world. The holiday has its roots in the early 20th century, with specific origins tracing back to a service held at the Grace Church in New York in 1908 to honor fathers. The modern observance of Father's Day was established in 1966 when President Lyndon B. Johnson proclaimed the third Sunday in June as a day dedicated to fathers.
Over the years, Father's Day has become a time for families to come together to honor and appreciate the fathers and father figures in their lives. Traditions may vary by region, but many celebrate with gifts, cards, or special family gatherings. The day is an opportunity to express gratitude for the contributions fathers make to their families and communities.
In Greece, the observance of Father's Day also follows the same date, aligning with the global celebration. As the date approaches, many individuals and families are planning how they will honor their fathers this year.
