14th FEBRUARY: ST VALENTINE'S DAY



By Paula Sastre.





St Valentine's day is celebrated on 14th February. On this day people celebrate romantic love all over the world.

This tradition was born when St Valentine, while in prison, fell in love with a young girl who it is believed to be his warder's daughter. She visited him everyday during his confinement. Before his death he wrote her a love letter and signed 'from your Valentine'. Now people send Valentine's cards and use this expression to sign them. People also give presents to the person they love: jewels, flowers and/or chocolates.
