Valentine's Day is celebrated on February 14th every year. It is a day to show your affection to the ones you love, friends and family, sending cards (valentines) to the loved ones. Verses, poems, and rhyme, pictures or puns sometimes humorous can express love and affection-but almost all ask, "Be My Valentine."
Valentine's Day falls on the feast day of two different Christian martyrs named Valentine. The customs of Valentine's Day has nothing to do with the lives of the saints. It is believed that the customs come from an ancient Roman festival called Lupercalia which took place every February 15. The festival honored Juno, the Roman goddess of women and marriage - and Pan, the god of nature.
Valentine's day is a great day to celebrate our friends. School children decorate their classrooms with bright red paper hearts. They exchange gifts, candy, flowers or "valentines."
