I had no idea. Here it's just called "BC Day"
Thanks for sharing.
Hi Tina,
Here in Rio de Janeiro we have many holidays. Some are criticized because they exist only a few years ago (as April 23, November 20). The next one will be September 7: Independence Day in Brazil.
Kisses
I had no idea.
Hope you enjoyed your day off.
