Valentine’s day
Valentine’s Day, also called Saint Valentine’s Day or the Feast of Saint Valentine, is celebrated annually on February 14. It originated as a Christian feast day honoring one or two early Christian martyrs named Saint Valentine and, through later folk traditions, has become a significant cultural, religious, and commercial celebration of romance and love in many regions of the world.
There are several martyrdom stories associated with various Valentines connected to February 14, including an account of the imprisonment of Saint Valentine of Rome for ministering to Christians persecuted under the Roman Empire in the third century. According to an ancient tradition, Saint Valentine restored sight to the blind daughter of his jailer. Many later additions to the legend have better related it to the theme of love: an 18th-century embellishment of the legend claims he wrote the jailer’s daughter a letter signed “Your Valentine” as a farewell before his execution; another addition posits that Saint Valentine performed weddings for Christian soldiers who were forbidden to marry.
The day became associated with romantic love in the 14th and 15th centuries when notions of courtly love flourished, apparently by association with the “lovebirds” of early spring. In 18th-century England, it grew into an occasion in which couples expressed their love for each other by presenting flowers, offering confectionery, and sending greeting cards (known as “valentines”). Valentine’s Day symbols that are used today include the heart-shaped outline, doves, and the figure of the winged Cupid. Since the 19th century, handwritten valentines have given way to mass-produced greeting cards. In Italy, Saint Valentine’s Keys are given to lovers “as a romantic symbol and an invitation to unlock the giver’s heart”, as well as to children to ward off epilepsy (called Saint Valentine’s Malady).

Valentine’s day — love for 24 hours?
As Valentine’s Day nears, I can already imagine all the red and pink everywhere I go.
I see conversation heart candies in the grocery store that say “Kiss me,” “Be mine,” and so on.
We should celebrate love every day of the year. Having a special day to celebrate this is a bonus.
Couples send Valentine’s Day cards and flowers and spend special time together to honour their love for each other.
Now the stars don’t shine the same
Everything’s in a state of change
Twilight I never knew
Until I met you
Happy Valentine to all of you,
Luc
