Today, Brazilians celebrate Dia dos Namorados (Lovers' Day). On the eve of Saint Anthony of Padua, lovers exchange gifts and do romantic activities. Largely replacing Valentine's Day, St. Anthony was known for blessing young married couples. This date was relevant in the Portuguese Empire but was gradually replaced by globalization. #mythology #myth #legend #calendar #June 12 #Brazil #Namorados #Saint Anthony

Tecuilhuitontli
00:00 – 01:00 June 14, 2024
On this day, the Aztecs began the month of Tecuilhuitontli, the small festival in honor of Xochipilli and the goddess Huixtocihuatl. During the festival, a woman was seen as the ixiptla, or incarnation of Huixtocihuatl. This woman was sacrificed at the end of the festival. #mythology #myth #legend #calendar #Tecuilhuitontli #Aztec #June 14
