Where does this Father's Day come from? A little history…
Father's Day was born in the 15th century. It was a religious holiday that was originally intended to celebrate June 19 the figure of Saint Joseph, the foster father of Jesus. It was in the 19th century that the tradition developed with Pope Pius IX before sinking into oblivion at the beginning of the 21st century. But some countries have transformed this holiday which has completely lost its religious connotation and which has become rather commercial. But it has entered into mores and has become an opportunity to please.
