When and what is Valentine's Day?

Valentine's Day is celebrated by lovers worldwide on 14 February every year. But why actually?

There is a long history behind this special day, on which today mostly flowers and chocolate are given as gifts. Like many other holidays, Valentine's Day has its origins in religion.

Originally, it was the commemoration day of Saint Valentine, a saint from the 3rd century. A martyr, he was executed on 14 February 269 CE. According to legend, he married couples in defiance of prohibitions and gave lovers flowers from his garden.

It was not until the 14th century that the custom of celebrating love on this day arose.
