You are fortunate if you have a male sibling, and this close relative should be congratulated on May 24, which is National Brothers Day. Sure, there may have been quarrels and disagreements, but also adventures and shared secrets that create a permanent, unbreakable bond.
History
The word “brother” has ancient Indo-European roots. Throughout different epochs, family ties have been important for providing protection and ensuring continuity. The holiday was first celebrated on May 24, 2005. The first gathering was organized by C. Daniel Rhodes, and the day is now celebrated in Europe, Asia, Australia, and Russia.
How to Take Part
Meet up with your brother and engage in their favorite form of entertainment, play a sport together, or discuss the latest news over a beer or their favorite drink.
- It may not always be easy to openly express feelings of love and gratitude toward brothers, as it can feel strange or overly sentimental. However, brothers are often pleased to hear it, even if they don’t admit it. Tell your brother how much you value them.
- Give them a gift: a funny or thoughtful little trinket, a t-shirt with a funny picture, a mug, or tickets to their favorite sporting event.
- Take photos to commemorate the holiday and share them with friends and acquaintances.
Brothers become more than friends; the blood bond is indestructible and overcomes adversity, obstacles, and social contradictions. It’s a phenomenon of spiritual kinship, even with obvious differences in attitude or worldview.
