About Valentine’s Day
Valentine’s Day is celebrated on February 14. It is named after Saint Valentine, an early Christian martyr, and over the centuries it became associated in Europe with courtly love and, later, with the exchange of handwritten notes and cards. Today it is observed in many countries as a day to express love and affection.
The most common customs are giving cards, flowers, chocolates and small gifts, and going out for dinner. Not only couples take part: many people also send messages to family, close friends or classmates. In some countries the traditions differ, for example in Japan, where chocolate is traditionally given on this day, and in the Philippines, where couples often celebrate together.
