The most awaited time of the year for lovers is round the corner. Valentine's Week began on Feb 7. The first day of the Valentine week is Rose Day, which is followed by Propose Day, Chocolate Day, Teddy Day, Promise Day, Hug Day, Kiss Day and finally the most-awaited, Valentine's Day.**
The last day of the love week or the eighth day
is Valentine's Day. It is celebrated on February 14 every year across the world.
With carnival held sometime in february or march each year, brazilians skip the February 14th celebration and instead celebrate dia dos namorados, or “lovers’ day,” on june 12th.**
In addition to the usual exchanges of chocolates, flowers and cards, music festivals and performances are held throughout the country. […] the following day is Saint Anthony’s day, which honors the patron saint of marriage.
On this day, single women perform rituals called simpatias in hopes that St. Anthony will bring them a husband.
