About Valentine's Day


Valentine's Day is often referred to
as Saint Valentine's Day,
or St. Valentine's Day.

It may also be called simply Valentine Day.

Traditionally,
it is recognized as the day,
when a special gift or a greeting of some kind,
is given to a sweetheart.

This way the sweetheart is acknowledged
as being chosen,
by the giver of the gift or the greeting.

At the very least,
the recipient is complimented.

A valentine may be simply a greeting
sent on Valentine's Day.

This tradition dates back to the 14th century AD.
