Every year on April 10, Russia and other countries of the world celebrate Brothers and Sisters Day, a holiday dedicated to strengthening family ties. On this day, it is customary to pay attention to brothers and sisters, regardless of the age difference and the distance between the residents. Izvestia has prepared postcards and congratulations on the Day of Brothers and sisters, which you can share with your loved ones.

Happy Brothers and Sisters Day Greeting Cards on April 10th

The history of the holiday originates in the United States of America. Claudia Ewart, a resident of Alabama, became the founder of Siblings Day. Claudia lost her brother Dean and sister Lisette in a traffic accident. Grieving for her departed relatives, the woman decided to create a special day that would allow other people to express gratitude to their brothers and sisters while they were still alive.

The first Siblings Day was held on April 10, 1995. Claudia Ewart chose the date in honor of her dead sister Lisette's birthday. Initially, the initiative was local in nature, but over time the holiday spread beyond Alabama and the United States.

Currently, Brothers and Sisters Day is celebrated in different countries of the world, including the states of Europe, Asia and Latin America. The holiday has no international status, but its popularity is growing every year.

There are certain traditions of celebration in the United States of America and in Europe. Brothers and sisters give each other small gifts, handmade postcards or sweets. A common practice is to have lunch or dinner together with a family. Children in schools make greeting crafts in art lessons. American adults often organize meetings with siblings, even if they live in other states, using the weekends closest to April 10.

Latin American countries, particularly Mexico and Brazil, have added national elements to the celebration. In these countries, Brothers and Sisters Day is accompanied by street festivals and musical performances. Families prepare traditional dishes and gather around a common table. Brothers and sisters exchange symbolic gifts, often made with their own hands.

In Asian countries, where the holiday also resonates, the emphasis is on reverence for older brothers and sisters. In Japan and South Korea, younger siblings give gifts to their elders, expressing gratitude for their care and support. The older ones, in turn, treat the younger ones or take over the organization of leisure activities.

The traditions of Brothers and Sisters Day also include charity events. Claudia Ewart, the founder of the holiday, has established a scholarship program for students who have lost siblings. This initiative continues to operate, collecting donations in the run-up to April 10. On this day, many families contribute to funds supporting orphaned children and sibling couples left without parental care.

In Russia, the Day of Brothers and Sisters has not yet become widespread at the official level. The holiday is not included in the calendar of commemorations, but interest in it is growing. Russian-speaking Internet users learn about Siblings Day from social networks and media. Some Russian families are adopting the tradition of congratulating their brothers and sisters on April 10. In large cities such as Moscow and St. Petersburg, themed events are organized in cultural centers and parks.
