Brazil's Dia dos Namorados, or "Lovers' Day," is dedicated to romantic love and affection. Unlike Valentine's Day, Dia dos Namorados occurs on the eve of Saint Anthony's Day, June 13th. He is Brazil's patron saint of marriage, adding a more profound significance to the date.
The history of Dia dos Namorados in Brazil is more ancient than expected. The celebration was conceived in 1948 by João Doria, a renowned Brazilian publicist. Working with a department store, Doria saw the opportunity to boost sales during the typically slow winter month of June by creating a holiday that encouraged the exchange of gifts among couples. His ad campaign was centered around the slogan "Não é só com beijos que se prova o amor" ("Love is not only proven with kisses"), effectively linking love with the act of giving gifts. This commercial origin doesn't diminish the holiday's importance in Brazilian culture; it reflects the nation's ability to adapt and create new traditions.
