History of Siblings Day
Claudia Evart, the founder of the Siblings Day Foundation, lost both her siblings Alan and Lisette when they were young. The day was founded by her in 1995. The date of April 10 was chosen to honor and celebrate the importance of siblings because it was also Evart’s late sister Lisette’s birthday. The Siblings Day Foundation aims to have the day recognized on a national level. Claudia’s organization is also working with the United Nations to establish an International Siblings Day.
Significance of Siblings Day
Siblings are an important and integral part of one’s life, and we often forget to express our feelings about them. Every year, India commemorates Siblings Day with Raksha Bandhan, in which sisters tie a rakhi or band around their brother’s wrist. The purpose of the day is to honor and value the presence of siblings in a person’s life.
The bond with them is the world’s most extreme level of support, healthy, and reliable relationship. This relationship molds you as a person, protects you when you’re in danger, and solidifies your outlook on life. The day is observed all over the world, including in India, Canada, and the United Nations.
Siblings Day 2024: Theme
The theme of this year’s Siblings Day is “Sibling Strengths.” The theme encourages people to consider their relationships with their siblings and to consider what their strengths are and which of them they admire the most.
The Siblings Day foundation Aims to Get the Day Recognized
Unfortunately, federal governments do not recognize the Day, so it is not necessarily a national holiday. As a result, you’ll have to get up and go to work as if it were any other day. That is not, however, a reason not to rejoice. You can always take time out of your busy schedule to spend quality time with your siblings.

Siblings Day 2024: Relationships & Family are Like Copassengers in a Train
No matter how much love is there between brothers, sisters, friends, and family; everyone has to die and leave everything behind one day. It is a hard and fast rule that we fear the most. All the memories, bonds, and relationships which we’ve built our entire life get washed away in just a few moments. Our loved ones leave us one after the other and even we’ll have to die when the time comes.

These temporary relationships and family members are like the passengers on a train. One will leave the others when his/her station arrives. Our journey with them is temporary just like with the other passengers in our compartment.
