Father's Day Trivia

Father’s Day is celebrated the third Sunday of June throughout the world more than any other day. While officially some 98 countries celebrate Father’s Day, 52 of them celebrated yesterday. The date for honoring fathers in the other 46 countries is spread across the calendar—April is the only month without a Father’s Day celebration. The second most popular calendar date is March 19th when Italy, Spain, Portugal as well as five other countries celebrate.We found various websites citing that the first Father’s Day dates back to Babylon over 4,000 years ago when a boy gave his father a plaque made out of clay with the message of Happy Father’s Day.
Our message is one of bits and bytes: A Happy Father’s Day to all of our dads at Translatus and TDABids.com.
