A History of Valentine's Day

Valentine's day is an event to really show your affection for your loved one, and has been a date to remember since 496 A.D. when a feast was created to celebrate St. Valentine, the patron saint of love. 

This popular celebration sees people all over the world sending cards, flowers, or chocolates with their messages of adoration to their loved ones. Around 145 million Valentine's cards are written and sent each year.
