Every year on April 10th, the world celebrates National Siblings Day. It is a day dedicated to honouring the unique and special relationships between brothers and sisters. Whether they're your partners in crime or your fiercest competitors, siblings play a significant role in shaping who you become.
Siblings are often the first confidantes, playmates, and sometimes rivals. They witness awkward phases and celebrate the triumphs. This shared history creates a powerful bond that can last a lifetime. That is why National Siblings Day is celebrated as a reminder to cherish unique and irreplaceable relationships.
What is the History of National Siblings Day?
National Siblings Day was founded by Claudia Evart in 1997 to honour the memory of her sibling and celebrate the special bond between siblings in general. Evart's sister's birthday falls on April 10th, making the date even more significant. While not an official federal holiday, Siblings Day has grown in popularity over the years, with many states recognising it and people taking the opportunity to celebrate their siblings.
The National Day Archives mentions: “Claudia Evart created Siblings Day in memory of her brother and sister, both of whom died at early ages. She also started The Siblings Day Foundation in 1997. Although it is not an official holiday like Mother’s Day and Father’s Day, governors of 49 states have officially issued proclamations to recognize National Siblings Day in their state.”
