Valentine's Day is a holiday celebrated on February 14th to honor love and affection between companions.
The holiday is named after Saint Valentine, a Catholic priest who lived in the 3rd century AD.
The day is traditionally associated with the exchange of love notes, chocolates, flowers, and gifts between romantic partners.
The holiday has its roots in the ancient Roman festival of Lupercalia, which was celebrated in mid-February.
Today, Valentine's Day is celebrated in many countries around the world, including the United States, Canada, Mexico, the United Kingdom, France, and Australia.
The day is also celebrated by friends, family and loved ones.
Some people also use the day to express their love and appreciation for non-romantic relationships, such as those with children and parents.
Valentine's Day is a controversial holiday, with some people claiming that it places too much pressure on romantic relationships and is too commercialized.
