Allan Kardec Day, marked in Brazil on 3 October, commemorates the birth of Allan Kardec, the codifier of Spiritist doctrine, with observances including the Allan Kardec Festival historically held in Sao Paulo. It is the movement's clearest recurring public observance, distinct from the ordinary weekly study and healing sessions held at Spiritist centres.
