Father's Day was first proposed by Sonora Smart Dodd in the year 1909. She came up with the idea after hearing a Mother's Day sermon and wanted to honor her father, who had raised her and her siblings alone after their mother's death. Dodd's efforts eventually led to the establishment of Father's Day as a national holiday in the United States.

What is 'Happy Father's Day' when translated from English to Italian?

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'.

Father's day is (in my opinion, a some commercial) day to celebrate fathers, just as Valentine's day is used to celebrate love and lovers.

And you say it when you hand your father a present, just as you use Happy birthday when you congratulate the one whose birthday it is when you hand him/her a present.
