São Tomé Day is a public holiday in the Democratic Republic of São Tomé and Príncipe on December 21st each year. This holiday commemorates the arrival of the first Europeans to the island of São Tomé on this day in 1471. São Tomé is Portuguese for Saint Thomas, whose feast day is December 21st. Both islands were uninhabited when the Portuguese arrived but they soon enslaved Africans from the mainland to cultivate sugar. São Tomé and Príncipe gained its independence from Portugal on July 21st 1975, making it the second-smallest country in Africa. The smallest is another island nation on the other side of the continent – Seychelles.
