Celebration of the Grandfathers and Grandmothers' Day on July 26. And that day was chosen for the celebration because it is the feast of St. Anne and St. Joachim, Mary's parents and grandparents of Jesus Christ.
The date of the feast of San Joaquin has undergone several changes over time. Initially it was celebrated on March 20, associated with St. Joseph and was then transferred to the 16th of August to join her daughter's triumph in the celebration of the Assumption, the day before.
In 1879, Pope Leo XIII, whose given name was Gioacchino (Italian version of Joachim) extended his feast to the whole Church. Finally, Pope Paul VI was associated in a single day, July 26, the celebration of the parents of Mary.
