VALENTINE'S DAY

Valentine's Day 

Valentine's Day, also called Saint Valentine's Day or the Feast of Saint Valentine, is celebrated annually on February 14. In this day we celebrate love and affection to the people we love. People usually give cards, flowers, and chocolate. We celebrate Valentine's Day because ancient Romans celebrated the feast of Lupercalia, a spring festival, on the 15th of February. With the introduction of Christianity, the holiday moved to the 14th of February, the saint day that celebrated several early Christian martyrs named Valentine.

On Valentine's Day every year, there are at least 36 million heart shaped boxes of chocolates sold. There are also approximately 50 million roses given around the world.
