Valentine's Day
Valentine's Day is refered to Saint Valentine's Day. There were two Saints attributed to the naming of this day. Both Saints were imprisoned and killed for being Christians. First story is that one of the Saints wrote a letter to his jailer's daughter for her kindness and he signed his letter 'your Valentine'.
Many stories tell us that both Saints died on February 14, which in Roman times was the night before a festival called Lupercalia and probably somebody got attached to the modern day celebrations of Valentine's Day.
Today, it is a day to tell people you love them and exchange Valentine's cards.Origine du jour de Valentine
