​Why do people celebrate Valentine's Day?

​Valentine’s Day is a holiday that people celebrate on the 14th of February.

People have celebrated Valentine’s Day with thoughts of love since at least the 1300s. According to an old European legend, February 14 is the day when birds each year find love to start their new families. February 14 is called Valentine’s Day because the Roman Catholic Church honors two saints named Valentine on that day. Many years ago, groups of young men and women celebrated Valentine’s Day by picking up valentines from a box: that person was the “valentine” for a year.

Today, on Valentine’s Day people tell their love to the loved ones, friends, family members, and classmates by sending them cards called valentines. People also give candies, chocolates, flowers, and other presents to the others.​
