About Valentine's Day

Valentine's Day began as a feast of a martyred saint and became a day of love through medieval English poetry. Today couples exchange cards, flowers, chocolates and rings, and many propose or marry on it. Weddings on 14 February are especially popular in the Philippines, where government offices hold large mass ceremonies, and in the United States, where chapels and registry offices schedule extra hours. In Japan and Korea women traditionally give chocolate to men, with the return gift a month later. In some countries, such as Saudi Arabia in the past and India in places, the day has met opposition.
