Flag days are usually codified in national statutes passed by legislative bod- ies or parliaments; however, in some countries a decree or proclamation by the head of state or chief executive can also order a flag day. The statute, or the proclamation or de- cree, may specify locations where flags are to be flown and how (for example, at full- or half-staff); alternatively, custom may prevail Bernard Cigrand, a small-town Wisconsin teacher, originated the idea for an annu- al flag day, to be celebrated across the country every June 14, in 1885. That year, he led his school in the first formal observance of the holiday. Cigrand, who later changed careers and practiced dentistry in Illinois, continued to promote his con- cept and advocate respect for the flag throughout his life. It is widely believed that Betsy Ross, who assisted the Revolutionary War effort by repairing uniforms and sewing tents, made and helped design the first American flag. However, there is no historical evidence that she contributed to Old Glory’s creation. It was not until her grandson William Canby held an 1870 press confer- ence to recount the story that the American public learned of her possible role. The lyrics of “The Star-Spangled Banner,” America’s national anthem since 1931, are taken from a patriotic poem written by Francis Scott Key after he witnessed the Battle of Fort McHenry during the War of 1812. His words were set to the tune of “To Anacreon in Heaven,” a popular British drinking song. 4. In the 1950s, when it seemed certain that Alaska would be admitted to the Un- ion, designers began retooling the American flag to add a 49th star to the existing 48. Meanwhile, a 17-year-old Ohio student named Bob Heft borrowed his mother’s sewing machine, disassembled his family’s 48-star flag and stitched on 50 stars in a proportional pattern. He handed in his creation to his history teacher for a class project, explaining that he expected Hawaii would soon achieve statehood as well Father's Day is a day of honouring fatherhood and paternal bonds, as well as the influence of fathers in society. In Catholic countries of Europe, it has been celebrated on 19 March as Saint Joseph's Day since the Middle Ages. In America, Father's Day was founded by Sonora Smart Dodd, and celebrated on the third Sunday of June for the first time in 1910. The day is held on various dates across the world and different regions maintain their own traditions of honouring fatherhood. Father's day complements similar celebrations honouring family members, such as Mother's Day, Siblings Day and Grandparents' Day. For centuries, the Eastern Orthodox Church has appointed the second Sunday be- fore Nativity as the Sunday of the Forefathers to commemorate the ancestors of Christ according to the flesh, starting with Adam and emphasizing the Patri- arch Abraham, to whom God said, — Genesis 12:3, 22:18 In thy seed shall all of the nations of the earth be blessed This feast can fall between December 11 and 17.This feast includes the ancestors of the Mary, mother of Jesus and various prophets. A customary day for the celebration of fatherhood in Catholic Europe is known to date back to at least 1508. It is usually celebrated on March 19, as the feast day of Saint Joseph, who is referred to as the fatherly Nutritor Domini ("Nourisher of the Lord") in Catholicism and "the putative father of Jesus" in southern European tradition. This celebration was brought to the Americas by the Spanish and Portuguese. The Catholic Church actively supported the custom of a celebration of fatherhood on St. Joseph's Day from either the last years of the 14th century or from the early 15th century, apparently on the initiative of the Franciscans. In the Coptic Orthodox Church, the celebration of fatherhood is also observed on St Joseph's Day, but the Copts observe this on July 20. The Coptic celebration may date back to the fifth century. Whether to celebrate this day worldwide or not remained a debatable topic for long. Then, in 1908, Grace Golden Clayton proposed the day to honour those men who lost their lives in a mining accident in the US. Though it was not accepted then. But in 1909 Sonora Smart Dodd, who along with her five brothers were raised by her father alone, being inspired after attending Mother's Day[ in a church, convinced the Spokane Ministerial Association to celebrate father’s day worldwide. In addition to Father's Day, International Men's Day is celebrated in many countries on November 19 in honor of men including boys. Fun Facts About June 1.
