Every February 14th, North Americans and people around the world celebrate Valentines Day. It originated as a Christian feast day honoring a martyr named Valentine (born 225 AD in Terni, Italy; died February 14, 269 in Rome) and through later folk traditions, it has also become a significant cultural, religious and commercial celebration of romance and love. This special day is also called Saint Valentine’s Day or the Feast of Saint Valentine.
