The second celebration we have in Brazil is National Family Day, celebrated annually on the day December 8th.

In our country this date came about through a 1968 decree. Many report that this date was also chosen because it was the Day of Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception.

In the old days this date was considered a religious commemoration, but this does not happen nowadays, being considered an optional point in several cities.
