The story of Valentine's Day started in Ancient Rome with a kind-hearted priest named Saint Valentine. He secretly performed weddings for young lovers, defying a law that banned young men from marrying. Saint Valentine was eventually caught, but his spirit of love lived on. Over time, Valentine's Day turned into a day to celebrate love. In the United States and many other countries, it is a time when people express their feelings to the ones they care about. They exchange gifts like cards, chocolates, and flowers. However, Valentine's Day isn't just an American tradition. Around the world, different cultures celebrate love in their unique ways. In Japan, it is the women who give chocolates to men. South Korea takes it a step further. Not only is there a Valentine's Day in February, but they also have 'White Day' in March, when men return the favor to women who gifted them chocolates. So, no matter where you are in the world, February 14 serves as a reminder of Saint Valentine's message of love and compassion. It's a day for everyone, everywhere, to celebrate love.
