Across the nation, families will honor their fathers with picnics, gifts, and other special events. At my Pennsylvania home Sunday afternoon, the grill will be warming up, baseball will be on the television, and my father will receive a gift from my sister and me. Since President Richard Nixon officially established Father\u2019s Day as a national holiday in 1972, the events stated above are common practices for most American celebrations. However, there are many different ways in which people practice Father\u2019s Day around the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In Russia, the equivalent of Father\u2019s Day is titled <em>\u0437\u0430\u0449\u0438\u0442\u043d\u0438\u043a\u0430 \u041e\u0442\u0435\u0447\u0435\u0441\u0442\u0432\u0430 \u0434\u0435\u043d\u044c<\/em> (Defender of the Fatherland Day) and is celebrated on February 23rd each year. Rather than being a celebration meant solely for fathers, this event pays tribute to all men, whom are expected to receive gifts from women and children. Due to the fact that the holiday originated as a military holiday, parades and celebrations embark across the country honoring current members of the armed forces and veterans. Privately, the celebrations are of a much smaller scale, usually just a dinner held in the man\u2019s honor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Germany possesses one of the more unique Father\u2019s Day celebrations. Common practices of <em>Vatertag<\/em>, which occurs on the 40th day of Easter, involve hiking and the consumption of a large amount of food and alcohol. Traditionally, men and their peers even pull wagons loaded with alcohol into the woods in jubilation. In modern times, going out to bars will suffice. These different celebrations are strictly meant for men.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On the third Sunday in June Mexico celebrates its fathers. There are many parties with food, music, and gifts. A massive breakfast encompassing the father\u2019s favorite dishes is commonly held in his honor. One of the larger events occurring on this day is a 21 kilometer race in Mexico City called <em>Carrera D\u00eda del Padre 21K Bosque de Tlalpan<\/em>, which attracts thousands of runners from across the globe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In late August or early September each year in Nepal, people celebrate <em>Gokarna Aunsi<\/em>, which literally translates to \u201ccow earned no moon night\u201d in honor of fathers. In accordance with Hindu beliefs, people gather and pray for fathers who have passed away at the Gokarna Temple. Children customarily present their fathers with gifts. A traditional act involving sons touching their heads to their father\u2019s feet and daughters touching their heads to their father\u2019s hands occurs following the presentation of gifts as a symbol of respect and adoration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What traditions do you and your families observe on Father\u2019s Day? What are some other international Father\u2019s Day traditions that you know of?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">____________________________________________________________________<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline; font-size: 14pt; color: #ff0000;\"><em><strong>You may also be interested in the following:<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"><strong>Ebook:<\/strong> <a href=\"\/staging\/ebook_list\/simultaneous-interpreters-and-interpretation-equipment-2\/\">A Resource for Working With Interpreters and Interpretation Equipment<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"><strong>Article: <\/strong><\/span><a href=\"\/staging\/lunch-looks-like-people-around-world\/\">What Lunch Looks Like for People Around the World<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"><strong>Article: <\/strong><\/span><a href=\"\/staging\/status-social-media-across-globe\/\">The status of social media across the globe<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"><strong>Article: <\/strong><\/span><a href=\"\/staging\/new-years-traditions-around-world\/\">New Year\u2019s Traditions Around the World<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">_____________________________________________________________________<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This Sunday, June 19th, the United States will be observing Father\u2019s Day.
