National Siblings Day: History
Raksha Bandhan is the day for Hindu People to celebrate the bond between brothers and sisters. The festival has ancient origins and is still very popular to this day- it is the earliest known celebration of siblings.
Claudia Evart lost her brother and sister at a very early age and therefore she created the US holiday in 1995. She declared the holiday to honor the memory of her siblings as she realized what important role siblings have in our lives.
For the Holiday, she chose the 10th of April – her late sister Lisette’s birthday.
The love of siblings is around the globe – India, Australia, Spain, and United Kingdom are only a few of the countries that celebrate and rejoice the Siblings Day. In Europe, National Siblings Day is celebrated as Bros. and Sis. Day on 31th of May annually.
