Introduction

On April 10, mark the occasion by celebrating your sibling! Celebrated on April 1st, it's a day to honor the special relationship you have with each other. While it's not yet a federal holiday, most states do recognize it because of the Siblings Day Foundation's efforts, unlike Mother's Day or Father's Day. Sibling celebrations go far beyond North America; in India, celebrations of the unique bond between brothers and sisters are observed through festivals like Raksha Bandhan.

History

It wasn't always common to celebrate Siblings Day. In 1995, Claudia Evart, who lost her siblings at a young age, started it as a personal homage. She started the Siblings Day Foundation in order to create a nationwide day of appreciation because of them. Presidents backed them, and most US states recognized the day as their efforts gained traction. Though 14 nations celebrate the unique link between siblings on a different day in May, it has even spread internationally.

Celebration

Siblings Day is a unique occasion to honor the special relationship you have with your sibling! Given that most Americans have siblings, it is even more significant.  The main objective is to show your siblings how much you value them, whether it is through a kind present, an enjoyable outing, or just by spending time with them. Even sharing amusing childhood pictures on social media might make people laugh.
