Galician Literature Day

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
2018

The Day of Galician Literature ( Día das Letras Galegas ) is a secular holiday in Galicia . The Real Academia Galega introduced it in 1963 to celebrate the Galician language and literature. Since 1991 May 17th has been a public holiday in all of Galicia. The first celebration in 1963 commemorated the publication of the Cantares Galegos 100 years earlier; whose author Rosalía de Castro (1837-1885) had become one of the most important poets in the history of Galicia.

Since then, each Galician Literature Day has been devoted to a different Galician language author who is no longer alive. It is also celebrated in the countries to which many Galicians emigrated in the 19th and 20th centuries - above all in Argentina, Cuba, Brazil and Uruguay.
