Italian Father's Day

While in the United States Father's Day is celebrated the 3rd Sunday of June (along with 52 other countries), in Italy Father's day is TODAY (March 19th) because it's Saint Giuseppe's (Joseph) name day or saints day(celebrating on a particular day of the year associated with the one's given name) which is in catholic and Christian religions, the name of Jesus' Father. So to the Italians, it's only fair that Father's Day be today!

HAPPY ITALIAN FATHER'S DAY PAPA'!
