Valentine's Day historical background

Saint Valentine's Day, also known as the Feast of Saint Valentine, originated as a Christian feast day honoring a martyr named Valentine, and it has become a cultural and commercial celebration of romance and love. Although the exact origins of the romantic aspect are unclear, the day became associated with romantic love in the 14th and 15th centuries, when notions of courtly love flourished. By the 18th century, couples had to express their love for each other.

Valentine's Day cultural significance

Over time, Valentine's Day traditions evolved to include the giving of cards, flowers, and chocolates, becoming a popular day for celebrating love and affection, an now, increasingly, for team-building at the workplace.
