Felice Festa del Papà is an Italian equivalent of 'Happy Father's Day'. It's pronounced 'feh-LEE-chay FEH-stah dehl pah-PAH'. The adjective 'felice' means 'happy, fortunate'. The feminine gender noun 'festa' means 'feast, festival'. The word 'del' is formed by the combination of the preposition 'di' and the masculine definite article 'il', to mean 'of the'. The masculine gender noun 'papà' means 'father'.

The day is celebrated on March 19th, in Italy. That is the feast day of Saint Joseph, who married Mary, the mother of Jesus of Nazareth [c. 7-4 B.C.E. - c. A.D. 30]. That day is called 'Il Dia di San Giuseppe', which means 'The Day of Saint Joseph', or 'Saint Joseph's Day'. It's pronounced 'eel DEE-ah Dee sahn joo-SEHP-pay'.
