Valentine's Day... This is what Wikipedia has to say...
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 named Saint
Valentine, and was established by Pope Gelasius
I in 496 AD. It was deleted from the General Roman Calendar of saints in 1969
by Pope Paul VI.
It is traditionally a day on which lovers express their love for each other by
presenting flowers, offering confectionery,
and sending greeting cards (known as "valentines").
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.
Modern Valentine's Day symbols include the heart-shaped
outline, doves, and the figure of the winged Cupid. Since the 19th
century, handwritten valentines have given way to mass-produced greeting
cards.
