Valentine's Day / Dia dos Namorados
It's Valentine's Day! It's that time of the year when you show all your love and affection to the people you care about.
Valentine's Day is celebrated all around the world (normally observed on February 14), especially in the Northern hemisphere. There are different stories about the origin of the holiday and the one thing that is common to most theories is that it was created to honor Saint Valentine, a Christian martyr devoted to love. Also, today it is a celebration of friendship.
In Brazil, we do not celebrate Valentine's Day. We have the "Dia dos Namorados" - which is literally translated to "Lovers' Day" or "Boyfriends'/Girlfriends' Day" - on June 12. The Brazilian holiday was originated because of commercial needs in 1949, by the São Paulo's Chamber of Commerce. With the objective of boosting sales of goods in the month of June (back then, the worst time of the year for the retail market), the Chamber came up with the date supported by a strong marketing campaign focused on those shot by the Cupid's arrow. The idea worked and the consumers approved it, the "Dia dos Namorados" is now celebrated every year (above all by the merchants).
In the United States, it became a tradition to go out for dinner with the people you love on Valentine's Day. Your boyfriend/girlfriend, husband/wife, a date, or simply a friend... February 14 is one of the best times of the year to enjoy a nice night out, with good food, drinks and, most importantly, great and beloved company!
Don't miss out! Come celebrate with us at Made in Brazil and we will help you have a memorable night!
But don't forget: Everyday is a good day to say "I love you!"
