Join us to celebrate the Day of Books and Roses, also known as St. George’s Day and Sant Jordi’s Day!
🌹 The Day of Books and Roses is an annual tradition in Catalonia, and is honored through the exchange of books and roses between loved ones. The holiday itself has a strong antifascist undercurrent following State propaganda through the adoption of Sant Jordi, and a campaign to promote fascistic literature under Francisco Franco’s fascist rule of Spain.
📚 The subsequent reclamation of the holiday by the free people of Catalan after the Franco dictatorship was toppled has cemented it as an important piece of Catalonian heritage, as well as an international symbol of antifascist action against State control of literature.
We’re celebrating the Day of Books and Roses by offering a bonus 15% trade-in credit + an origami rose with every trade-in!
