What’s National Siblings Day 2020?
Back in 1995, Claudia Evart is the founder of National Siblings Day in the United States. After losing her sister and at a very early age, she created this holiday to honor the relations between siblings. In memory of her deceased sister, Lisette, whose birthday was on April 10, Evart began celebrating Siblling’s Day on the same date.
Evart organized the Siblings Day Foundation whose mission is to honor siblings and the connection between them. Her foundation is presently working hard to make Sibling’s Day a federally identified holiday in the United States.
Also, they’re working to establish it as an international holiday through the UN organization. For-about 49 American states have recognized the holiday since 1998. 3 US presidents, including Barack Obama, have acknowledged the holiday.
Along with America, Australia, India, and Spain have also driven by this agenda to make it a recognized day. In India, Sibling’s Day is celebrated as Raksha Bandhan. Siblings tie each other rakhis’ pledging to guard each other against all difficulties. In Europe, this day is celebrated as Brothers and Sisters day on the 31st of May. Portugal too recognized it as a holiday.
