The history of Día del Padre has deep and diverse roots. In the Catholic tradition, it is associated with March 19th, St. Joseph’s Day, father of Jesus, which is predominant in Southern European countries like Spain and Portugal, while in America, the most common date is the third Sunday of June, emerging from a mix of tribute, marketing, and social rooting, officially started in the United States in 1972.
