Valentines´s Day

Valentine's Day is a traditional celebration of Anglo-Saxon countries that has been implemented in other countries throughout the twentieth century mainly in the loving couples express their love and affection to each other. Held on February 14, Valentine's feast day. In some countries it is known as Valentine's Day and in others as Day of Love and Friendship.

In Anglo-America in the 1840s, Esther A. Howland began to sell the first mass postcards Valentine, known as "valentines" with symbols like a heart or Cupid, but with the rise of the Internet has spread the custom of exchanging virtual postcards. Also on this day is common tradition of giving roses to those people who have a special affection.

Several theories give this date the origin of Valentine's Day. In the Nordic countries it is during this time when paired and mated birds, hence this period is seen as a symbol of love and creation.

Some believe it is a Christianized pagan festival, as in ancient Rome was made the worship of the god of love, whose Greek name was Eros, whom the Romans called Cupid. This celebration is called the favors of God through gifts or offerings to achieve and find the perfect love.
