Brazil formally established the National Thanksgiving Day (Dia Nacional de Ação de Graças) through Law No. 781. The law set the celebration to occur annually on the fourth Thursday of November, aligning it with the tradition observed in the United States while adapting it to Brazil’s religious and civic context. The observance was intended to promote gratitude, reflection, and social harmony. Although not a public holiday, the day is officially recognized and marked by religious services and community events across the country.
