母亲节的故事
最早的母亲节可追溯到古希腊为纪念瑞意（Rhea，古希腊神话中的诸神之母）而举行的春季庆祝活动。在公元17世纪，英国出现了一个叫做“妈妈的星期天”的节日。一般是在每年四旬斋活动（即为庆祝耶稣复活而举行的长达40天的宗教活动）的第四个星期天举行。“妈妈的星期天”其实就是专门为英国的母亲们而设立的节日。
在那时，许多英国穷人都在有钱人家做仆人。因为这些穷人住的地方往往距离主人家较远，所以他们常常就住在雇主的家中。而在每年的“妈妈的星期天”这一天，主人常常会给他的仆人放一天假，鼓励他们回家去与自己的母亲共度此日。同时，为了庆祝这一天，人们还常常会带一种特殊的蛋糕（称为“母亲蛋糕”）回家给自己的母亲。
随着基督教在欧洲的广泛传播，这一天逐渐演变为“母亲礼拜日”，以纪念给予基督徒生命和保护他们不受伤害的精神力量。再以后，“母亲礼拜日”和“妈妈的星期天”逐渐合为一体。此后，人们在这一天中就既庆祝母亲的节日又举行基督教的礼拜。

William Smart，a Civil War veteran，was widowed when his wife (Mrs. Dodd，s mother) died in childbirth with their sixth child.

It was after Mrs. Dodd became an adult that she realized the strength and selflessness her father had shown in raising his children as a single parent.
The first Father，s Day was observed on June 19，1910 in Spokane Washington. At about the same time in various towns and cities across America other people were beginning to celebrate a “Fther，s Day”.

父亲节的故事
与广为流行的错误理解相反，将父亲节设立为一个节日的目的并不是为了帮助贺卡生产商们卖出更多贺卡。实际上，设立“父亲节”的提议最初被提出时，世界上并没有父亲节贺卡！
华盛顿的约翰·B·多德夫人最早于1909年提出了设立“父亲节”的建议。多德夫人希望能用一个特殊的日子向她父亲——威廉·斯玛特先生表示敬意。威廉·斯玛特是美国内战中的老兵，他妻子（即多德夫人的母亲）在生育第六个孩子时因难产而死，斯玛特先生从此成为鳏夫。他独自一人在华盛顿州东部的一个乡村农场上抚养新生的孩子及其他五个子女。直到长大成人，多德夫人才意识到她父亲在独自一人养育子女的过程中表现出来的坚强和无私。
1910年6月19日，人们在华盛顿州的斯波坎庆祝了第一个父亲节。当时，在大致相同的时间里，美国各地其他城镇的人们也开始庆祝“父亲节”。1924年，卡尔文·柯立兹总统表示支持设立全国性的父亲节的建议。林登·约翰逊总统最终于1966年签署了总统公告，宣布每年六月的第3个星期天为父亲节。
