Dia dos Namorados: Celebrating Love and Emotion with 10 Heartfelt Quotes
The Dia dos Namorados is one of the most popular celebrations in Brazil, recognized as the most romantic occasion of the year. Although it may seem like the date is dominated by the young, many adult couples also take this opportunity to give a special boost to their relationship, regardless of their marital status.
In Brazil, the celebration takes place on June 12, which falls on a Wednesday this year. Although it is a significant date for commerce, like other seasonal dates throughout the year, Dia dos Namorados is not considered a national holiday or optional holiday.
Why is Dia dos Namorados celebrated on June 12?
Contrary to what many people imagine, the origin of Dia dos Namorados has nothing to do with love. In fact, the date was added to the calendar because of a successful advertising campaign.
In 1948, João Doria, owner of the Standart Propaganda agency, was hired by the Clipper department store to boost sales in the traditionally slow month of June.
Inspired by Valentine’s Day, celebrated in the United States and other countries, Doria developed an advertising campaign for June with slogans such as “It’s not just with kisses that love is proved!” and “Don’t forget: love is repaid with love.”
The strategy impacted the sector at the time, and a special date was established for couples to celebrate love. On the other hand, the choice of June 12 is a result of the Catholic festivities of Santo Antônio, famous as the matchmaker saint, which take place on June 13.
