Día del Padre: historia y significado de la fecha que se conmemora este domingo
Un homenaje que nació en Estados Unidos
El origen de esta celebración se remonta a 1909, en Spokane, Estados Unidos. Sonora Smart Dodd propuso rendir homenaje a su padre, un veterano de guerra que crio solo a sus seis hijos tras la muerte de su esposa. Inspirada por una misa dedicada a las madres, propuso establecer un día para los padres. La idea fue aceptada y en 1910 se celebró por primera vez, el tercer domingo de junio. En 1972, el presidente Richard Nixon oficializó la efeméride en todo el país.
De San Martín a la fecha actual
En la Argentina, el Día del Padre se celebró inicialmente el 24 de agosto, en homenaje al nacimiento de Mercedes, la hija del General José de San Martín. Sin embargo, hacia los años 60 se decidió trasladar la fecha al tercer domingo de junio, alineándola con la celebración internacional.
Actualmente, muchas familias aprovechan la jornada para compartir tiempo juntos, hacer regalos o simplemente agradecer a los padres su presencia y dedicación.
