A little over a week ago, a brave 6-year old boy named Bridger Walker became an internet sensation after he risked his own life to save his younger sister from a vicious dog attack. He had to later bear 90 stitches on his face.
The boy was lauded by Hollywood actors Robert Downey Jr., Chris Evans, and Anne Hathaway for his bravery, and they wished him a speedy recovery. Evans, known for his role in the movie ‘Captain America’ promised to send the little boy an authentic Captain America shield as well.
After going on to become the internet’s favorite little superhero, the siblings have managed to win our hearts yet again with an adorable little Raksha Bandhan celebration they had. Check out the photo here:-
Their aunt took to Instagram to not only share this photo but also explained the tradition of Raksha Bandhan for those who might be unaware of the concept. She even talked more about the boy’s inspirational story. She wrote, “Bridger’s story has resonated with people across the world and has traveled to places like Mexico, Brazil, Ireland, Iran, South Africa, Japan, and India—just to name a handful. Our new connections to these places have allowed us to cross boundaries, unifying us in the love that a brother can have for his sister.”
She continues, “I read that this action is also meant to protect the brother from bad influences. I love this sentiment of brothers and sisters caring for one another and find it very appropriate that we would get to celebrate Raksha Bandhan today.” She also shared a cute cartoon with the hashtag #BrotherLikeBridger.
It is so amazing to see how the true spirit of Raksha Bandhan is being celebrated across the world. We hope and pray that their heartwarming bond is forever cherished.
