Valentine's Day - Thursday 14th February

Every year on 14th February we celebrate Valentine's Day by giving flowers, chocolates or cards to those we love. We do this in honor of Saint Valentine. Legend has it that Valentine could have been a priest who served during third century Rome. He was imprisoned for performing weddings for soldiers who were forbidden to marry. Valentine's Day symbols that are used today include hearts, doves, and the figure of the winged Cupid.
