When is Father’s Day 2022

Do you have doubts about when is the Father’s day? In this case, the answer is simple: eFather’s Day is celebrated on March 19, 2022. Like every year, this celebration coincides with the day of Saint Joseph.

Father’s Day festivity has a very curious and little known origin. She was a teacher from Zamora called Manuela Vicente Ferrero, Nely -as he signed many of his writings-, who had the idea of ​​dedicating a day to celebrating paternal dedication just as it was already done with mothers.

Mother’s Day is celebrated every year on the first Sunday of May, that is, its exact date changes, unlike Father’s Day, which was always March 19, Saint Joseph.

The teacher and writer, who taught in a suburb of Madrid, published in January 1949 an article in the magazine ‘El magisterio español’ about “a day for parents”, so that her students “They will speak more intensely of their affection, remembering their sacrifices”.

The custom of honoring the father on Saint Joseph’s Day became widespread. The decisive support came from José Fernández Rodríguez, managing director of Prized Gallerieswho launched a national campaign and, in fact, press advertisements from 1953 are preserved.

Years later, Nely herself recounted in the pages of ‘El Correo de Zamora’, in the March 19, 1965 edition, how that idea arose, as reported in La opinion de Zamora.

Father’s Day around the world

Although the father’s day celebration It is something common to almost all countries, not all of them are celebrated on the same day. March 19, the date chosen in Spain to remember our parents, is also Father’s Day in countries like Morocco, Andorra, Bolivia, Croatia, Honduras, Italy, Mozambique or Portugal.

In many other corners of the planet the celebration moves to the third Sunday in June. On that day in 1910, a woman from the United States petitioned a Washington Ministerial Association to honor her widowed father, who had single-handedly raised her and her five siblings. Thanks to this and the formalization of President Richard Nixon in 1966, in the North American country they remember her parents in mid-June of each year. The tradition of this day ended up spreading to many other countries, such as United Kingdom, France, India, South Africa, the Philippines and almost all of Latin America.

Apart from these two dates, Father’s Day is celebrated at very different times of the year, according to the tradition and history of each area. For example in Russia the chosen date is 23 of February and in Uruguay and Argentina is July 11.

On Germany matches the ascension day of Jesus Christ, the date on which, according to the Church, the physical body of Jesus was raised to heaven. It is celebrated 40 days after Easter Sunday, always on a Thursday.
