Valentine's Day is a holiday that is celebrated every year on 14th February as a commemoration of the good works carried out by Saint Valentine of Rome, which are related to the universal concept of love and affection
The party itself is known as a significant cultural event from the religious point of view for the grace of Valentine and from the secular because it relates to the feelings of love and friendship.
If you want to know how long until Valentine's Day you just have to consult the following counter:
Valentine's Day is celebrated in many European countries as International Valentine's Day, however, not everyone celebrates Valentine's Day on the same day. Even in some places the meaning changes.
A curious example happens in Finland and Estonia . Valentine's Day is a tribute to friendship and is called Sobrapäev and Ystävän Paiva, respectively. It is even usually a preferred date to ask for marriage and get married.
Another curious case is that of Denmark and Norway. There the tradition of giving away Gaekkebrev, which are small poems with funny rhymes that men send to women anonymously, is maintained there. In fact, the sender gets as many points as there are letters in the name of the lover. A game in which if the woman guesses who sent her the poem, she gets an Easter egg and if she loses, she must give it to him.
Also noteworthy, the gift of 'pigs' in Germany or the placement of five bay leaves in England, one in each corner of the pillow and another in the center, to try to attract the future husband.
In some Latin American countries such as Chile, Cuba, Ecuador, Puerto Rico, the Dominican Republic or Uruguay this day is also celebrated on February 14, a day in which the most recurring gifts are flowers, letters or chocolates, among others.
