Day of Books and Roses
The following description was submitted by the event organizer.
Celebrate the Day of Books and Roses, also known as St. George’s Day and Sant Jordi’s Day. The Day of Books and Roses is an annual tradition in Catalonia, and is honored through the exchange of books and roses between loved ones. The holiday itself has a strong antifascist undercurrent following State propaganda through the adoption of Sant Jordi, and a campaign to promote fascist literature under Francisco Franco’s fascist rule of Spain.
The subsequent reclamation of the holiday by the free people of Catalonia after the Franco dictatorship was toppled has cemented it as an important part of Catalan heritage and an international symbol of antifascist action against State control of literature.
