Today is a very important day in Catalonia. We celebrate our Saint Patron's Day and the World Book Day in a very beautiful way. In Catalonia a rose is traditionally given as a gift for each book sold. You can see all the streets full of books and red roses.World Book Day was designated (1996) by UNESCO as a worldwide celebration of books and reading, and was marked in over 30 countries around the globe last year. The origins of the day come from Catalonia, where roses and books were given as gifts to loved ones on St. George’s Day – a tradition started some 80 years ago.
HISTORY
23 April: a symbolic date for world literature for on this date and in the same year of 1616, Cervantes, Shakespeare and Inca Garcilaso de la Vega all died.
