We have a few things for April. We know Mother’s Day, Father’s Day and even grandparent’s day. But we also have Siblings Day. Siblings Day is a new thing. It started in US and Canada (celebrated 10 April) by Claudia Evart to honour the memory of her brother and sister, who died at early ages. It also got to Europe where it is celebrated 31 May. It also has an equivalent in the Hindu celebration of Raksha Bandhan (Sisters tie a string around the wrist of their brothers). It was started in 1997 in the US and in 2014 in Europe, so it is one of the newest ‘celebrations’. Wiki: “Examples of commemoration during this observance include giving your sibling a gift (including a surprise gift), a giftcard, and taking one out for dinner. Non-material examples of observances during this day includes giving hugs to your sibling(s), enjoying time with them, honouring their presence in your life, and greeting them on various social media platforms using childhood photos. Neat, I think!
