February 14 just around the corner.. why February 14??? what happen at that day??Actually February 14 is the day which lovers express their love for each other by sending Valentine's cards, presenting flowers, or offering confectionery.
February 14 is Valentine's Day..........................
St. Valentine's Day originated from several events and customs. It is named after St. Valentine, who was a Christian priest. A Roman custom also contributed to what we know as Valentine's Day today. They held a festival each year called the Festival of Lupercalia at the same time of the year as Valentine's Day. Later the holiday changed into a holiday to honor the Roman goddess, Juno, whom the Romans believed ruled over marriages. It became a holiday of love. When the Christian church became powerful, the Pope changed the holiday to honor St. Valentine.
