~ A brief historic background ~
Valentine's
Day is named after ‘Saint Valentine’, a Catholic priest
who lived in Rome in the 3rd century. There are many stories about
St. Valentine and over time these stories grew into the legend we know today.
In our days, the Valentine's Day became
an annual festival celebrating the romantic love, friendship and admiration.
Every year, on February 14, people honor this day by sending messages of love and regard to partners, family and friends expressing their affection.
While
Valentine's Day is celebrated in most countries, different cultures have
developed additional traditions for this. The greeting cards especially
crafted for the occasion usually are decorated with pictures of cupid, hearts & flowers, while containing few sentimental rimes, emphasizing how special the
receiver is, becoming easily recognizable all over the world. With the
rise of technology, the Valentine's Day customs diversified even more, but continue to have LOVE at the core.
