Valentine's Day


Valentine’s Day is the traditional festival in western countries, and people celebrate it on February 14th. It is the date to commemorate a Christian named Valentine at first. After several centuries, this festival becomes well-known and people combine it with the story of Cupid. While sending cards, flowers, chocolates and other gifts is traditional in the UK, Valentine's Day has various regional customs. In Spain Valentine's Day is known as "San Valentín" and is celebrated the same way as in the UK, although in Catalonia it is largely superseded by similar festivities of rose and/or book giving on La Diada de Sant Jordi (Saint George's Day).
In addition, in Asia, we have another Valentine’s Day. It is at July 7th , the lunar calendar, and it has a beautiful Chinese myth. Nowadays, we celebrate both Chinese and Western Valentine’s Day.
