History of Valentine's Day

Valentine's Day has origins dating back to ancient Rome and the Christian martyr Saint Valentine. The holiday evolved over centuries from a feast day celebrating the saint to the romantic celebration we know today. By the Middle Ages, it had become associated with love and romance, with the tradition of exchanging cards and tokens of affection growing popular in 18th century England.

Today, Valentine's Day is celebrated worldwide as a day to express love and appreciation for romantic partners, spouses, and sometimes friends and family. It's estimated that over 250 million roses are produced for Valentine's Day each year, and billions are spent on chocolates, cards, jewelry, and romantic experiences.
