Valentine’s Day, celebrated every February 14th, is a day dedicated to love and friendship. Its origins date back to the Roman Empire when Saint Valentine, a Christian priest, defied Emperor Claudius II’s ban on marriages and secretly married couples. For this, he was martyred on February 14th, 270 AD, becoming a symbol of romantic love. Over time, the holiday became popular in different cultures, adopting traditions such as exchanging cards, flowers, chocolates, and other gifts between couples, friends, and loved ones. Today, Valentine’s Day is celebrated in various ways around the world, from romantic dinners to symbolic gestures of affection. While some see it as a commercial holiday, many consider it a special opportunity to express love and strengthen relationships.
