Valentine’s Day
February 14th
Legend has it that on third century a
priest named Valentine used to perform
marriage ceremonies despite the prohibition
by a roman emperor named Claudius II who
was convinced that single men made better
soldiers for his army.
After being thrown in jail, Valentine established a relationship with his jailor’s
daughter (it is said that he cured her blindness), and he signed his last message to her
“from your Valentine’s”, a phrase which still gets a lot of mileage.
Valentine was executed on February 14th.
Nowadays, Valentine’s Day is celebrated with gifts, candies, chocolate, dinner, a
night out, flowers and jewelry.
St Patrick’s Day March 17th
St. Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland. He was born in Wales about
AD 385. His given name was Maewyn, and he almost did not get to
be Bishop of Ireland because lacked the required scholarship.
Much Irish folklore surrounds St. Patrick’s Day. Actually not
much of it is proved. It is believed that Patrick raised people from
dead. It is also said that he has given a sermon from a top of a hill
that drove all the snakes from Ireland.
One tradition icon of the day is the shamrock and the stems
from a more bona fide Irish tale that tells how Patrick used the 3
leafed shamrock to explain the trinity. Patrick used it in his sermons
to represent how the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit could
all exist as
separate elements of the same entity. His
followers
adopted the custom of wearing a
shamrock on his feast day.

Holidays
American Holidays is an introductory survey of the historical
and social background of American
people.
People in every culture
celebrate holidays.
Although the
word “holiday”
literally means
“holy day”, most
American holidays are not
religious, but commemorative in nature and
origin. Therefore, the nation is blessed with
rich ethnic heritage. It is possible to trace
some of the American holidays to diverse
cultural sources and traditions, but all
holidays have taken on a distinctively
American flavor. In the United States,
the word “holiday” is synonymous with
celebration.

A
An American tourist had a little money with him(just a few dollars),
as he knew that there were a lot of thieves in that area, he walked for
some minutes and then entered a little restaurant near his hotel. There
were a lot of people in the restaurant, and there weren’t many tables, but
he finally found a free table near the kitchen..
He looked at the menu. There were many
y dishes with
complicated names, but the tourist had little
e trouble in
finding the name of that famous Brazilian
n dish:
“feijoada”. He didn’t eat much(there was too much
salt in the beans) and after finishing dinner

decided to “practice” his Portuguese. He took
