Every year on April 10th, families worldwide celebrate Siblings Day, a special occasion dedicated to honoring the unique and irreplaceable bond between brothers and sisters. Whether through shared childhood memories, lifelong support, or friendly rivalries, siblings play an essential role in shaping our lives. This Day is the perfect opportunity to express gratitude, strengthen connections, and cherish the family ties that last a lifetime.
The History of Siblings Day
Siblings Day was founded by Claudia Evart in 1995 to honor the memory of her late siblings. She recognized the need for a day that acknowledges the importance of sibling relationships, much like Mother’s Day and Father’s Day. The Siblings Day Foundation has since worked to establish April 10th as an officially recognized holiday in various parts of the world.
