Valentine's Day is also known as Saint Valentine's Day or Saint Valentine's Feast.¹⁾

It is a secular and religious festival observed on February 14 each year.²⁾

It began as a Western Christian feast day dedicated to one or two early saints called Valentinus.³⁾

In many parts of the world, Valentine's Day is considered as an important cultural, religious, and commercial celebration of romance and romantic love.⁴⁾

Numerous martyrdom stories are related with several Valentines associated with February 14, including a documented narrative of Saint Valentine. He was imprisoned for performing marriages for soldiers who were prohibited to marry and ministering to persecuted Christians under the Roman Empire.⁵⁾

Saint Valentine, tradition has it, restored sight to the blind daughter of his judge. As a goodbye, he wrote her a note addressed to “Your Valentine”.⁶⁾

The 14th century Geoffrey Chaucer's group was the first to identify the day with romantic love.⁷⁾

It evolved into an event in 18th-century England where lovers demonstrated their love for one another by offering flowers.⁸⁾
