Happy Father’s Day
Do you know that Father’s Day is celebrated on different dates across the world? In many countries across the globe, including Singapore, USA, UK, India, Mexico, Malaysia, Japan, Greece, France, China, and so on, it falls on the third Sunday of June.
So for this year, it falls on 20th June 2010 for many countries. Then, there are countries like Australia and New Zealand that celebrate it on the first Sunday of September and places like Russia that have a fixed date for its celebration (February 23). This year is very special as it is the 100th celebration of Father’s Day in the world!
