What is Valentine’s Day?
Valentine’s Day, also known as St Valentine's Day or the Feast of St Valentine is a celebration for lovers to show their affection with greeting cards and gifts. Given their similarities, it has been suggested that the holiday has origins in the Roman festival of Lupercalia, held in mid-February.

Valentine’s Day began honouring a Christian martyr named Saint Valentine.

In modern times, Valentine's Day is a popular occasion for people to express their love and affection for their significant others.
