Entering into June,
don't know when is Father's Day,
the second Sunday?
or the third Sunday?
as for the meaning of this day,
I think it is a matter of business opportunity for the shops and restaurants,
thus, a lot of crowds in the restaurants,
check with wiki,
-
Many countries celebrate it on the third Sunday of June, though it is also celebrated widely on other days. Father's Day was created to complement Mother's Day, a celebration that honors mothers and motherhood.
however, some celebrate in different dates:
