Holiday: Saint Valentine's Day
Date: February 14, 2011
History: The history of Valentine's Day is a little ambiguous. This annual commemoration is named after one or more early Christian martyrs named Valentine. In the early days, romance and love were not linked to Saint Valentine's Day. It was during Chaucer's time that this day first became associated to love and romance.
Interesting Fact: Approximately 85 percent of all Valentines are purchased by women. In addition to the United States, Valentine's Day is celebrated in Canada, Mexico, the United Kingdom, France and Australia.
