World Brothers’ Day is celebrated globally every September 5th, in honor of Mother Teresa of Calcutta. This event recognizes the importance of solidarity and companionship in the family, extending the concept of brotherhood beyond consanguinity to include those considered soul brothers. This date seeks to replicate the purity and authenticity of fraternal feelings and has a spiritual tone derived from the figure of the famous saint.

Mother Teresa of Calcutta, who died on 5 September 1997 at the age of 87, is remembered not only for her charitable services but also for the two miracles attributed to her intercession, which contributed to her canonisation by Pope Francis in 2016. Mother Teresa of Calcutta, whose secular name was Anjezë Gonxhe Bojaxhiu, was born in 1910 in Skopje, was an Albanian nun who dedicated her life to the service of the poor and sick.

In 1950, she founded the Missionaries of Charity in India, focusing on helping the most disadvantaged, such as the terminally ill and orphans. Her dedication made her a worldwide symbol of compassion and altruism. She received the Nobel Peace Prize in 1979 for her humanitarian work. Her congregation continues to help those in need in more than 130 countries, keeping her legacy of love and service alive.

In Argentina, Brother’s Day is also celebrated on March 4. Although it is not commemorated in the country for any specific event, National Brother’s Day is celebrated in March by tradition and for commercial purposes, with a purpose similar to that of the international day.

However, on an international level, the choice of September 5 strengthens the spiritual connection and legacy of Mother Teresa. This celebration is a valuable opportunity to highlight and reinforce fraternal ties. Brotherhood is defined not only by genetics, but also by the emotional and spiritual bonds that are established with other people throughout life. In this sense, the importance of siblings goes beyond biology and becomes an emotional and moral support that strengthens the family and social structure.
