Grandparents’ Day, sometimes known as National Grandparents’
Day, is a national holiday observed in several countries to honor
the relationship between grandparents and grandchildren.
Celebrated today, the holiday honors the relationship between grandparents and grandchildren.
In the United States, Grandparents’ Day is observed on the first
Sunday following ‘Labor Day’. This year, it’s being celebrated on September 12. The official site for Grandparents Day states the
theme for each year and for 2021 it is, “How will you look at
connecting generations differently this Grandparents Day?”
The organization behind this campaign urges people to hold
grand intergenerational activism projects. On the occasion,
people have been sharing their feelings towards their
grandparents on social media.



Congress passed an act making Labor Day a legal holiday in the District
of Columbia and the territories. On June 28, 1894, President Grover
Cleveland signed it into law. More than a century later, the true
founder of Labor Day has yet to be identified.
Many credit Peter J. McGuire, cofounder of the American Federation
of Labor, while others have suggested that Matthew Maguire, a
secretary of the Central Labor Union, first proposed the holiday.
