On Father’s Day, Brazilians are honoring St. Joachim, the father of Mary, on the second Sunday of August. Dads see lots of love and get paraded around as you would expect. Their kids, no matter their age, are expected to take dad out for some food or plan a nice family day outside.

While more than 40 countries celebrate Father’s Day, Brazil is one of the countries that has celebrated the longest. They first recognized Father’s Day in the Middle Ages!
