[Dia das crian\u00e7as no Brasil]<\/span><\/p>\n

Ol\u00e1, pessoal! Hello everybody! <\/span><\/p>\n

Last Thursday, on October 12th, we celebrated <\/span>Dia das Crian\u00e7as<\/b> (Children\u2019s day) in Brazil. Even though United Nations and Unesco have declared November 20th as Universal Children\u2019s Day, the date is commemorate around the world in many different days. In Portugal and many other countries, for example, June 1rst is when they chose to honor and promote children\u2019s welfare. <\/span><\/p>\n

In Brazil, since we are mainly a catholic country, October 12th is a national holiday because it is also the day of <\/span>Nossa Senhora de Aparecida<\/span><\/i> (<\/span>Our Lady of Aparecida<\/span>), \u00a0<\/span><\/i>our patron saint. The tradition here during this day is for<\/span> children to receive many gifts from their parents. Schools, cultural centers, shoppings malls and other places prepare games, plays and many children-related activities to celebrate the occasion.<\/span><\/p>\n
