Your brother irritates you the most but you love him to the end of the world. He can be insufferably annoying but he is lovable to the core. On May 24th, we dedicate the day to our amazing brother, who is the centre of our universe. This day honours our brother who is a constant support, a pillar of strength, a partner in crime, and a fun companion for life.

It is not necessary that you need to celebrate only your blood sibling. You can as easily acknowledge your cousin brother or someone whom you consider as close as a brother or look up to as a brother figure.

History of Brother’s Day

Since 2005, Brother’s Day has been celebrated each year on May 24. However, this day is not to be confused with National Sibling’s Day, which is celebrated sometime in April. This day was first celebrated by C. Daniel Rhodes in Alabama to recognize the monumental importance of your male sibling in your life and the unbreakable bond that you share. This day can be shared by your stepbrother, your brother-in-law, brother-like someone, all of whom you consider close and share a safe space with.

The concept of brotherhood is very strong among men. Bro-code as it is popularly known, runs as deep as friendship for life, sometimes having even stricter moral codes. Brotherhood is widely recognized and have been inspiration for books, bands, movies and even historical achievements. Wright Brothers (pioneers in flying), Grim Brothers (books and literature), Band of Brothers (music and TV series) are some of the great examples of exemplary brotherhood.
