Mother’s & Father’s Day Traditions
Mother's Day in Ireland: In Ireland, Mother's Day
is not celebrated on same day as in US. Mother's Day celebrations in Ireland
take place on the fourth Sunday in the Christian fasting month of Lent. The
history of celebrating Mothering Sunday, or Mother's Day in Ireland, can be
traced to the medieval practice where children from poor families were sent to
work as domestic servants and apprentices to work with the rich. Once in the
year in the middle of the Lent these children were given a day off to visit
their 'Mother Church' and worship Virgin Mary. After visiting the Mother Church
or Cathedral of their hometown these children visited their mothers and
presented them with flowers they picked along the way. On Mother's Day, people
in Ireland present flowers and cards to their mothers to express love and
gratitude.
Mother's Day in US: Here in the United States
Mother's Day is a national holiday and is celebrated with a lot of enthusiasm.
On this day people reflect on the importance of mothers in their life and thank
them for their unconditional love and support. Mother's Day is celebrated in
USA in a big way and has been commercialized to a great extent. It is
considered as the next big day after Christmas and Valentines Day. Phone lines
record a heavy traffic and card sales reaches its peak and restaurants are
filled to their maximum capacity. Traditions for this day generally include
things like breakfast in the bed, giving flowers, cards or gifts, and treating
them to a meal.
Father's Day in Ireland: Fathers Day in Ireland is celebrated with great joy and
enthusiasm. Fathers Day celebration in Ireland takes place on the third Sunday
of June, the same day when several countries and US celebrate Father's Day.
Taking full opportunity of the day, people honor their father and express
affection and gratitude for them. Like in many other countries, people indulge
their father by presenting them with loads of gift and allowing them a day of
rest. Grown-ups take their fathers out for dinner or lunch or treat them with
breakfast in bed. People whose father are no more, pay tribute by giving
donations in the name of their father or by performing acts of service.
Several clubs and cultural organizations in Ireland organize Father's Day programs to stress on the important role played by father in the development of the child. An effort is also made to make fathers realize that they must make all efforts to fulfill with devotion and sincerity their responsibility as a father. Besides, children are also encouraged to pay full attention and respect to their father.

Father’s
Day in the United States: There are
a range of events, which may have inspired the idea of Father's Day. One of
these was the start of the Mother's Day tradition in the first decade of the
20th century. Another was a memorial service held in 1908 for a large group of
men, many of them fathers, who were killed in a mining accident in Monongah,
West Virginia in December 1907.
A woman called Sonora Smart Dodd was an influential figure
in the establishment of Father's Day. Her father raised six children by himself
after the death of their mother. This was uncommon at that time, as many
widowers placed their children in the care of others or quickly married again.
Sonora was inspired by the work of Anna Jarvis, who had
pushed for Mother's Day celebrations. Sonora felt that her father deserved
recognition for what he had done. The first time Father's Day was held in June
was in 1910. Father's Day was officially recognized as a holiday in 1972 by
President Nixon.
