The origin of Children's Day in Brazil dates back to 1920, when the first celebration was proposed by a toy manufacturer named Afonso S. de Castro. However, the date only became official in 1960, when Law No. 3,570 established October 12 as Children's Day, taking advantage of the date of the feast of Our Lady of Aparecida, the patron saint of Brazil.
