VALENTINE'S DAY is an annual event held on February 14 to celebrate love and affection. In the West, the holiday is named after one or more early Christian martyrs named Valentine and was established by Pope Gelasius I in 496 AD.

Currently, it is the day on which lovers express their love for each other by presenting flowers, offering confectionery, and sending greeting cards (known as "valentines").

Valentine's Day has become the second-largest greeting card-sending holiday in the US after Christmas.
