The bond between siblings is extra-special, even more so if one of them has a life-long illness or a disability. Sibling Day is a way of honouring that special bond. Siblings Day was created by Claudia Evart, a freelance paralegal from Manhattan, NY. Evart started the day after losing both her sister at an early age. It is a day of celebration and recognition for brothers and sisters around the world.

Siblings day, usually held on the 10th of April is a holiday that celebrates siblings relationships. April 10th is fast approaching, and you should probably be calling your siblings to hatch up a plan on how to spend the day. Siblings are an incredible gift from God and anyone who has a brother or sister should not let the day just pass by without celebrating them.
Siblings Day (sometimes called National Siblings Day or National Sibling Day) is a holiday recognized annually in some parts of the United States on April 10,[2] honoring the relationships of siblings. Unlike Mother's Day and Father's Day, it is not federally recognized, though the Siblings Day Foundation is working to change this.[3] Since 1998, the governors of 49 states have officially issued proclamations to recognize Siblings Day in their state.[4] Siblings Day can be considered international because it shares many similarities with the Hindus holiday of Rakshya Bandhan, despite their inherently different origins and customs.[5][6] It is also spreading to Australia.[7]
It is an annual American holiday created to recognise the relationship of siblings. And celebrities flocked to social media on April 10 to show some digital love to their brothers and sisters. Actress Eva Mendes led the pack as she treated fans to an amazing flashback snap of herself and her sisters.
