A Special Portuguese Celebration

Portugal and a few other regions share similar Father’s Day antics. Since Portugal is a predominantly Catholic country, their day falls in line with the Feast of St. Joseph. The Feast takes place on March 19th, so that brings up a tiny problem.
March 19th is in the middle of Lent! That means dads can’t eat meat on their day. A true blessing and curse scenario. You have to be thankful for the day, but a bit upset about the food options.
