Traditionally, it is a day where fathers are granted a day free of work, where their family attends to their needs, where practical. The day begins with a ceremonial footwashing, conducted by the man's wife (or, lacking such, one of his daughters). Children are expected to give a small gift that they crafted themselves to symbolize their thanks to their father.====Cultural Variations====
On Aurea, during the height of the Old Empire, "Dies Patroni" was also considered a day for clients to recognize the beneficence of their patrons, even between client states and the Emperor himself.
