February marks the holiday when loved ones exchange flowers and gifts in the name of St. Valentine.
The facts about Valentine’s Day and its patron saint are shrouded in mystery. What is commonly known is the fact that February has been a month of romance for a long time in both Christian and ancient Roman traditions.
It is also believed that 14 February marks the wedding of Zeus and Hera the God and Goddess of love and fertility (from the ancient Greek Mythology)
The first recorded association of Valentine’s Day with romantic love is in Parlement of Foules (1382) by Geoffrey Chaucer the great English poet.
