History
World Cousins Day was just another day brought out to celebrate the love of close ones with a distinct history but that doesn't mean that it isn't important but we need to celebrate it in a very grand manner because it talks about love of cousins and the bond between them.
Meaning
Many people living in their tiring life have really got a few hours to spend time with their family members but cousins are the ones whom they meet very rarely or for short time but still have very good bonding and understanding in their short times as well. Now many people don't understand the concept of First cousins and Second Cousins. Let me make it easy for you guys to understand:-
First Cousin Example Family
The easiest way to understand the relationships between cousins is with a hypothetical example. This illustration keeps the family tree as simple as possible, ignoring most siblings and the extended families of spouses who have married into the reference family. With this hypothetical example, you and Parry are first cousins because you have the same grandparents.
➤ Your maternal (mother's) grandmother and grandfather had two children: your mom and Danny.
➤ Your mom went on to marry your dad and have you.
➤ Danny went on to marry Pam to have Parry.
➤ You and Michelle are first cousins.
Second Cousin Example Family
With this hypothetical example, you and Ashley are second cousins. This is because the closest common ancestor that you share is your great-grandma. Ashley's grandpa, your great-uncle, is your grandma's brother.
➤ Your grandmother has a brother who is your great-uncle.
➤ Your grandma and great-uncle were born to your great-grandmother and your great-grandfather.
➤ Your great-uncle (sometimes referred to as a grand-uncle) married your great-aunt (sometimes referred to as a grand-aunt) and they had a daughter named Vivian.
➤ Vivian married Philip and had a daughter named Ashley.
➤ You and Ashley are second cousins.

Final Conclusion
“Cousins are people that are ready-made friends, you have laughed with them and remember good times from a young age, you have fights with them but you always know you love each other."
