Happy Valentine's Day!

 
The smile on your face 
The sun in the sky 
The love in your heart  
And you will be mine!  

Valentine's Day - an annual holiday of lovers falling on February  
14th.  The name comes from Saint Valentine, a real man, who  
was a priest  and lived in near Rome around 270 AD. The Emperor  
Claudius II wouldn’t  let young men get married at that time,  
because he wanted  them to be  soldiers, not husbands.  
Bishop Valentine felt sorry for  them, so  he used to help them meet  
and merry in secret.  
Currently, Valentine's Day is not only a day for lovers. This is
the day when we have the opportunity to show that we care about
someone important. We can please our parents or friends.
We can also send our chosen ones an anonymous
Valentine's card.  
The tradition of this day is to send love letters. In the West,
especially in Great Britain and the United States, Saint Valentine
is the patron of lovers. Therefore, February 14th became a special
day or exchanging small gifts, chocolates  and red roses.  



 It is now hugely popular throughout the world. In the UK, people  
send  cards, poems, flowers and presents to those they love  
(or want to love).  
Valentine’s Day is a big day in the shops, too, with many lovely  
romantic  goods to choose from. Some people feel it has become  
too commercial,  but is there really anybody who isn’t happy  
to receive a Valentine’s card?
