About Valentine's Day
Valentine's Day is celebrated on February 14th as a day of love and romance. Named after Saint Valentine, the holiday is marked by exchanging cards, flowers, chocolates, and gifts between loved ones. It is one of the biggest consumer spending holidays in the United States.
History & Origins of Valentine's Day
Valentine's Day is named after Saint Valentine, a 3rd-century Roman priest who was martyred on February 14th. According to legend, Valentine performed secret marriages for soldiers forbidden from marrying, and before his execution, he sent a letter signed "From your Valentine." The holiday became associated with romantic love in the Middle Ages, partly due to Geoffrey Chaucer's poetry. The first written valentine appeared in 1415, when Charles, Duke of Orleans, sent love poems to his wife while imprisoned in the Tower of London. Mass-produced valentines became available in the 1840s, and today Valentine's Day is celebrated in many countries worldwide.
