The most romantic date of the year is coming up! The 14th of February is Valentine’s day,the day that honors  the bishop Valentine who fought in favor of marriage in a time where it was prohibited by the Imperator, because he believed that singles were better soldiers.

In Brazil, however, the date is celebrated on 12th of June and we call it Girlfriend/Boyfriend’s Day (Dia dos Namorados). It is the day before Saint Anthony’s day, known there as the marriage saint.
