Celebrating fathers day is the highest symbol of love and respect towards fathers around the world for many children. As such sons and many daughters will take a break from their jobs to spend time with their fathers along with their family.

Fathers day is not only a religious but also a social event in many countries. Both believers and non-believers celebrate, although originally it was a religious ceremony. For the Roman Catholics, the day is the same day as St. Joseph\'s Day. Many Catholics don\'t actually know that both days are the same. Which implies that the day was perhaps celebrated somehow since the beginnings of the Catholicism. The day is celebrated by many other religious communities too, although not necessarily at exactly the same day.

For many societies, fathers day is a nationwide celebration. It is credited to a specific woman, Mrs Sonora Smart Dodd, known as the starter of Father\'s Day in America. The father of Mrs. Smart Dodd was Jackson Smart, a veteran of the Civil War who has raised his children alone after his wife\'s death.

People say that she could have gotten the inspiration for her idea from Mother\'s Day, also a similar religious and social celebration. However, there is no evidence about her intention. Perhaps it was just intended as a gift to her father.

What ever of the origins you believe or not, having one day each year dedicated to fathers is a tradition which continues to practised and recognised by many people throughout the world.

If you really want to give your father a day he will never forget, how about giving him the chance to be James Bond for one day? Some companies now offer spy games days, where your dad can get a realistic experience of MI5! The day consists of 6 hours of full on action adventure! This is as close to the real deal as you can get without actually joining the service.

This package includes learning how to shoot from a moving car at \'villains\', an intensive course in unarmed combat, with instructors from the world\'s premier action team the SAS. Your dad will also learn how to do high speed evasion manoeuvres in a car and make his getaway! The day also offers the chance to try some of the most sophisticated spying and surveillance equipment in the world!

If spying is not to your fathers liking, perhaps a day of medieval jousting is more the thing? The medieval jousting experience offers a chance to be Ivanhoe for a day. Your father will learn how to ride and fight like a knight, before the final choreographed battle. After the show, he can get a DVD of the whole thing to commemorate the days experiences. For all who have wondered how it would be to be a sword wielding knight in days of yore, now they can experience it first hand.

This is just some of the amazing things you can give for Fathers Day. Make it a day to be remembered and show your father how important he has been in your life.
