Today is Sant Jordi (Saint George's Day), one of the most beloved traditional holidays in Catalonia ❤️ the day of literature, love, and the Catalan language.
In these two images, you can find an explanation of this tradition. The first photo is an auca, a way of explaining stories with drawings and rhymes that is traditional from Catalonia and has been very popular between the 1600s and the 1930s and to a lesser extent still done nowadays.
I wish everyone a happy Sant Jordi with lots of books and love, and in a time when the right-wing furiously attacks our language and culture, a day of fight for Catalan language and literature.
