Valentine's Day

Happy Valentine's Day to all.

Valentine's Day, also called Saint Valentine's Day or the Feast of Saint Valentine, is celebrated annually on February 14.  It originated as a Christian feast day honouring a martyr named Valentine, and through later folk traditions it has also become a significant cultural, religious and commercial celebration of romance and love in many regions of the world.

  1. Happy Valentine’s Day dear friend Margaret 🥰

    O yes I familiar with the sad story of the man named Valentine who believed in love deeply despite the persecution.
    God is love himself! So love is victorious and has shaped everything eyes can see 🥰
    Wishing you and loved ones much more the blessing of love my friend 🙏🥹

    1. Thank you and the same to you too. The background is a photo of a red rose from my garden and then I made it seamless to go as a background.

  11. It wasn't around here when I was young and I think it became so popular in the 80s and 90s. I remember when there were still newspaper everywhere that Melbourne's Herald Sun had pages and pages of Valentine's Day messages.

  16. Děkuji, Margaret, za pěkné připomenutí tohoto svátku. V naší blízké rodině byli dva Valentýnové - můj dědeček z otcovy strany se narodil 24. 12. a byl tak i "vánočním dárkem". Prastrýc z matčiny strany (bratr druhého dědečka) byl také Valentýn, oba pracovali jako horníci v černouhelném dole.
    U nás se slavení sv. Valentýna rozšířilo postupně asi před 30 lety, spíše to oslavují mladí. Posílám pozdrav z Evropy. ☺
