Did you know? 💡
In Brazil, Valentine’s Day (Dia dos Namorados) is not celebrated on February 14th like in other countries. Instead, it takes place on June 12th. Why?
The date was chosen in the 1940s by a Brazilian advertiser, João Doria, to boost sales in June, which was a slow month for businesses. He picked June 12th because it is the day before Saint Anthony’s Day (June 13th). Saint Anthony is known as the "matchmaker saint" in Brazilian tradition, as many people pray to him for love and marriage.
That’s why in Brazil, love is celebrated in June instead of February! 💕
