Saint Valentine's Day

Last Sunday was Saint Valentine’s Day;  did you give any present to your girlfriend or wife?

If you didn't do it, don’t worry, you have a lot of time to show your love during the rest of the year.

Saint Valentine’s Day is a celebration celebrated on February 14 each year.There are several theories about it, one of this says it's the time when birds pair up and mate in the Nordic countries. This is the reason why this period is seen as a symbol of love and creation.

Many people think that Saint Valentine's Day is celebrated not long ago, that it is a celebration created by the big shopping centres, but it's origin begins back in the Roman Empire, when the emperor Claudius II decided to ban the celebration of marriages for young people. When the priest Valentin found it out, he celebrated secret marriages for young people.
