Valentine's Day is a holiday which is celebrated on 14th February by people across the world. This traditional day is celebrated with valentine cards. It is the best time to show passion to your lover.

Legend has it that Valentine was a priest who served during third century Rome. There was an Emperor at that time by the name of Claudius II. Emperor Claudius II decided that single men made better soldiers than those that were married. With this thought in mind he outlawed marriage for young men in hopes of building a stronger military base. Supposedly, Valentine, decided this decree just wasn't fair and chose to marry young couples secretly. When Emperor Claudius II found out about Valentine's actions, he had him put to death.

Cupid (Latin cupido, "desire"). In Roman mythology Cupid is the son of Venus, goddess of love. His counterpart in Greek mythology is Eros, god of love. Cupid is often said to be a mischievous boy who goes around wounding both gods and humans with his arrows, causing them to fall in love.

Traditional Valentine's Day gifts include: chocolate, flowers, cards, heart-shaped keepsakes, jewelry, dinner date, champagne/wine, and romantic poems.

There is one word that I just wanted to say...
