Valentine's Day is named after Saint Valentine and was originally observed as a day on which lovers expressed love for each other.
Presenting flowers or sending greeting cards became known as "valentines." Some like to refer to this day as "love day"- a time to show any all of your loved ones how much you care for them.
You too Ms Lacey, I was reading somewhere, that St Valentine, was marrying people who had been denied the right to marry by the religious / government of the times?
