  • National Family Day

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.

  • National Family Day at School

The third celebration in Brazil was officially instituted by the Ministry of Education (MEC) as the National Day of Family at School, celebrated annually in all schools across the country on the day April 24th.
