Valentine's Day

Saint Valentine's Day, commonly shortened to Valentine's Day is an annual commemoration
held on February 14 celebrating love and affection between intimate companions.

The day is named after one or more early Christian martyrs, Saint Valentine, and was established
by Pope Gelasius I in 496 AD.

It is traditionally a day on which lovers express their love for each other by presenting flowers, offering confectionery, and sending greeting cards

The day first became associated with romantic love in the circle of Geoffrey Chaucer
in the High Middle Ages, when the tradition of courtly love flourished.

In Finland Valentine's Day is called Ystävänpäivä which translates into "Friend's day".
As the name indicates, this day is more about remembering all your friends, not only your loved ones.

In Chinese culture, there is an older observance related to lovers, called "The Night of Sevens"
(Chinese: 七夕; pinyin: Qi Xi). According to the legend, the Cowherd star and the Weaver Maid star
are normally separated by the milky way (silvery river) but are allowed to meet by crossing it
on the 7th day of the 7th month of the Chinese calendar.
