Father's Day has American origins. It was created to celebrate a father who served in the American Civil War. In Italy (where there are 20 million fathers), Father's Day falls on March 19, the date in the Christian calendar that commemorates Saint Joseph, the father of Jesus Christ.

Every man can be a father.
It takes a special person to be a dad.
