The special day to celebrate with couples and friends is ‘Valentine’s Day.’ But traditions and dates vary from country to country.
Despite Valentine’s Day’s religious origin, the holiday has become part of the secular calendar and one of the world’s most popular celebrations.
On this day, people honor their loved ones and friends, giving one another gifts, and making kind and loving gestures. In the United States, people focus on their partners; in other countries, they include their friends.
The holiday’s origin comes from a Catholic saint of the 3rd century, Saint Valentine, a martyr whom the Romans killed for protecting Christian beliefs. Although the Catholic Church no longer recognizes the day, it allows its celebration, provided it does not interrupt Masses or other saints’ commemorations.
