Brother's Day 2022: All You Need To Know

Do you have a boy sibling who used to drive you insane but whom you still love? Remember how you used to argue over toys or who got to sit in the front seat of the car when you were younger? Brother's Day exists to honour that unique but strange bond. Strangely enough, those early fights and arguments helped to bring you and your brother or brothers closer over time.

Date

Every year on May 24, Brother's Day is observed. Whether you have one or many brothers, today is the day to reflect on how your sibling has enriched your life. Remember to remind your brothers of the rivalry that existed between you all. Or how you used to get into mischief when you were younger. Use this time to express your love for them.

History

Since 2005, May 24 has been observed as Brother's Day. Although the origins of the day are uncertain, it was Alabama's C. Daniel Rhodes who originally organised the holiday and associated events.

Apart from biological brothers, other people, such as cousins, brothers-in-law, or even friends, can occasionally fill the void of a brother in our lives and function as one to us. In reality, everyone should have at least one brotherly figure in their lives who they can turn to for sincere counsel or help in a pinch.

Celebrations

Call up or meet your brothers or those who have treated you like one, and tell them how much you appreciate them. If you have a brother or friend with whom you haven't spoken in a long time, you could utilise the day to reconnect with them.

If you are putting up photos on social media, use the hashtag #BrothersDay to thank all your brothers.

A brother, despite their flaws and annoyances, can be your best secret-keeper and will never expose you or abandon you. Feel free to go all out with the sentimental stuff on this day to convey your love for your brother and his significance in your life.
