Saint Valentines Day, also known as Valentines Day or the Feast of Saint Valentine,is observed on February 14 each year. It is celebrated in many countries around the world, although it is not a holiday in most of them.
St. Valentines Day began as a liturgical celebration of one or more early Christian saints named Valentinus.
Several martyrdom stories were invented for the various Valentines that belonged to February 14, and added to later martyrologies.A popular hagiographical account of Saint Valentine of Rome states that he was imprisoned for performing weddings for soldiers who were forbidden to marry and for ministering to Christians, who were persecuted
under the Roman Empire. According to legend, during his imprisonment, he healed the daughter of his jailer,
Asterius. An embellishment to this story states that before his execution he wrote her a letter signed "Your Valentine" as a farewell. Today, Saint Valentines Day is an official feast day in the Anglican Communion,as well as in the Lutheran Church.The Eastern Orthodox Church also celebrates Saint Valentines Day, albeit on July 6 and July 30, the former date in honor of the Roman presbyter Saint Valentine, and the latter date in honor of Hieromartyr Valentine, the Bishop of Interamna (modern Terni). In Brazil, the Dia de So Valentim is recognized on June 12.
The day was first associated with romantic love in the circle of Geoffrey Chaucer in the High Middle Ages, when the tradition of courtly love flourished. In 18th-century England, it evolved into an occasion in which lovers expressed their love for each other by presenting flowers, offering confectionery, and sending greeting cards (known as"valentines"). Valentines 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.

Its interesting that the Valentine’s Day and the Spring Festival are on the same day this year.So many lovers confront a problem that who to acompany with?Boyfriend,Girlfriend or family,it is a question.
‘A friend of mine once said ‘For Valentine’s Day, I get my lover the thing she really wanted but didn’t get for Spring Festival.’Hehe,But they are on the same day this year,so it makes no difference and on the other hand that’s one not so romantic way to go about it. We prefer the idea of getting something you both can enjoy. Whether it’s tickets to a concert, a couple’s massage, or something as simple as buying a nice bottle of wine to share, the fact that you’re spending time together doing something special is what true love is all about.’ To avoid another Valentine’s Day horror story, here are a few simple tips.I hope it will help,at least it does well for me.
So,let me ask you a question,What are the things you keep as mementos of love? No, not chocolate, or clothes,or watch,or diamond,or flowers, or massage oils. It’s letters(OK, maybe massage oils when you dont got any letters) . Sometimes we forget this holiday is about our expression of love, and the simple act of telling your loved one how you feel will communicate your love more than a dozen roses ever could. The perfect gift? It’s you.Thats so simple but it works well,the simple thing is always powerful,isnt it?
