May 17\, the publication date of Rosalía's book\, was chosen as the holiday. \nThe day initially focused solely on honoring Rosalía de Castro\, widely regarded as the most iconic Galician poet and a central figure in reviving Galician language and identity. \nDuring the late Franco dictatorship (1939–1975)\, the public use of Galician was restricted\, but the celebration of Galician Literature Day persisted\, becoming a subtle act of cultural resistance. With Spain's transition to democracy and the Statute of Autonomy of Galicia (1981)\, the day gained even greater recognition as a public holiday. \nToday\, May 17 is a public holiday in Galicia\, fully dedicated to its language and literature. \nSchools\, cultural organizations and institutions across Galicia organize activities to promote Galician writers\, books and the use of the Galician language (galego) in everyday life.
