Nationa sister's Day is celebrated on first Saturday of August each year

National Sister's Day is celebrated on the first Sunday in August, which this year falls on 6 August. The occasion is reserved for celebrating the bond between sisters and expressing gratitude to their siblings for standing by them in good times and bad

History:

The term sister is derived from a proto-Germanic word 'swester', which is derived from the Old Norse word 'systir'. It is widely believed that Tricia Eleogram and one of her sisters were instrumental in the conception of the idea of National Sister's Day in 1996, as per a Hindustan Times report.

National Sister's Day is an opportunity to recognise the love, companionship and support that sisters bring to our lives. Individuals are encouraged to show love and respect for their sisters on this day and to take steps to improve their relationship with their sisters.

National Sister's Day is also an opportunity to spend time with our sisters and reminisce about old memories while making new ones.
