I explained the origins of Father’s Day last year. We salute all fathers for their unselfish…blah, blah, blah.
This year we delve into the murky underbelly of the Day! Ostensibly Father’s Day is a non-sectarian holiday now celebrated in 111 countries around the globe. It has been suggested by some pagans that Father’s Day is their celebration of the Sun because the sun is thought to be the father of the universe and the day of dads falls in close proximity to the summer solstice. Irrefutable proof!
So for all you polytheistic pagans out there getting naked and dancing like a dervish, Happy Sun-Worshipping Father’s Day!
