It is interesting that many of the holidays and "special" days celebrated in North America have roots in the Christian religion. Valentine's day is no exception. The following excerpt is from Wikipedia:
Valentine's Day is a holiday celebrated on February 14. In North America, it is the traditional day on which lovers express their love for each other by sending Valentine's cards, presenting flowers, or offering confectionery. The holiday is named after two among the numerous Early Christian martyrs named Valentine. The day became associated with romantic love in the circle of Geoffrey Chaucer in High Middle Ages, when the tradition of courtly love flourished.
Happy Valentine's day to all. May you spend it with someone dear to you.
