Cultural Note
Brazil celebrates its version of Valentine's Day on June 12th, the eve of Saint Anthony's Day (the patron saint of marriage). February 14th was avoided because it falls too close to Carnival. Couples exchange gifts, go to romantic dinners, and celebrate their love. Single people may pray to Santo Antônio to find a partner.
