Happy Valentine’s Day 2024 Highlights: Today marks the eagerly anticipated Valentine’s Day, annually celebrated on February 14th, a day dedicated to love and romance. Globally, couples eagerly await the opportunity to spend quality time together and exchange gifts in a display of affection.
It is marked by a week-long celebration called Valentine’s Week, which begins with Rose Day, dedicated to expressing love through the gift of roses, followed by Propose Day, a significant moment for many couples where romantic proposals are made. The celebration continued with Chocolate Day and Teddy Day, where lovers exchanged chocolates and teddy bears, symbols of sweetness and comfort in their relationship. Hence, these days led up to Valentine’s Day, being rounded off with Hug Day and Kiss Day, culminating in the celebration of love on February 14, Valentine’s Day itself.
The origins of Valentine’s Day are tied to both Christian and ancient Roman traditions and is celebrated in honour of Saint Valentine, a martyr who, according to legend, performed secret marriages in defiance of Roman Emperor Claudius II’s ban on marriages for young men.
However, over centuries, this day has evolved and become a global phenomenon where people express their affection towards their partners, friends, and family members through heartfelt wishes and thoughtful gifts.
