Valentine’s Day is celebrated on February 14 on the Feast of Saint Valentine. Valentine’s Day is recognized as a significant cultural, religious and commercial celebration of romance and romantic love around the world.
A Little History
In 18th-century England, Valentine’s Day evolved into an occasion where lovers expressed their love for each other by presenting flowers, offering confectionery, and sending greeting cards. In Europe, Saint Valentine’s Keys are given to lovers as a romantic symbol and an invitation to unlock the giver’s heart.
Symbols that are used today for Valentine’s Day today include the heart-shaped outline, doves, the figure of the winged Cupid, chocolates, jewelry, and more.
