Father’s Day — День отца

Father’s Day comes on the third Sunday in June. It is not a national holiday on that day. Americans honour their fathers. Many people send their fathers a card or a gift. Americans are great letter-writers. Whatever happens in a family, they congratulate all the members. They congratulate people on Easter, Christmans and Whitsun. They do not have to possess great literary talent themselves, because one can find printed texts for all possible occasions. One may select and check any of these suggested texts: «here’s to Father: always loved, respected, and admired». «Warmest wishes for your hapiness on father’s Day and ever after».
About 1909, the churches of Spokane, Washington, set aside the day to honour fathers. The custom soon spread throughout the United States and Canada. During the autumn, some colleges celebrate Dad’s Day. They set aside a Saturday during the football season. On Dad’s Day, they the honour among the fathers

members and friends of the college.

День отца

День отца отмечается в третье воскресенье июня. Это не национальный праздник. В этот день американцы чтят своих родителей. Многие посылают открытку или подарок. Американцы — любители писать письма. Что бы не случилось в семье, они поздравляют всех членов семьи. Они поздравляют с праздником Пасхи, Рождества и Троицы. Вам не обязательно иметь талант составлять письма, вы можете воспользоваться напечатанным текстом на все случаи жизни. Вы можете выбрать и проверить каждый из предложенных текстов: «Для тебя, папа! Всегда любим, уважаем и восхищаемся». «Самые теплые пожелания

удачи — к Дню отца и после него». Приблизительно в 1909 г. церкви Вашингтона, Споукейна отменили день, когда почитают родителей. Но вскоре снова распространился обычай чтить родителей в Соединенных Штатах и Канаде. Осенью некоторые колледжи празднуют День отца. Здесь в течение футбольного сезона откладывают празднование. В День отца они чтят родителей в кругу семьи и среди друзей в колледже.

День батька

День батька відзначається в третю неділю червня. Це не національне свято. У цей день американці шанують своїх батьків. Багато хто посилає листівку чи подарунок. Американці — любителі писати листи. Що б не трапилося в родині, вони поздоровляєте всіх членів родини. Вони поздоровляєте зі святом Великодня, Різдва і Трійці. Вам не обов’язково мати талант складати листа, ви можете скористатися надрукованим текстом на усі випадки життя. Ви можете вибрати і перевірити кожний із запропонованих текстів: «Для тебе, тато! Завжди любимо, поважаємо і захоплюємося». «Найтепліші побажання удачі — до Дня батька і після нього».
Приблизьно у 1909 р. церкви Вашингтона, Споукейна скасували день, коли шанують батьків. Але незабаром знову поширився звичай шанувати батьків у Сполучених Штатах і Канаді. Восени деякі коледжі святкують День батька. Тут протягом футбольного сезону відкладають святкування. У День батька вони шанують батьків у колі родини і серед друзів у коледжі.
