About Valentine
In Western countries, Feb.14th is considered to be the most romantic day of the year. Although it is celebrated as a lovers' holiday today, with the giving of candy, flowers, or other gifts between couples in love, it originated in 5th Century Rome as a tribute to St.Valentine, a man who risked his life for love.
Valentine was a man who secretly married young couples in Rome, at a time when marriage was forbidden. For this action he was killed, and later recognized as a saint. Today, we still retain this day as a tribute to St.Valentine's heroism.
