What is Valentine's Day?๐ค
People have celebrated Valentineโs Day with thoughts of love since at least the 1300s. According to an old European legend, February 14 is the day when birds pair off each year to start their new families. February 14 is called Valentineโs Day because the Roman Catholic Church honors two saints named Valentine on that day. Both Saint Valentines were ancient Romans of the 200s ce who died for their Christian faith.
Groups of young menโ๏ธ and womenโ๏ธ once celebrated Valentineโs Day by picking up valentines from a box. The person whose valentine was picked up would become the pickerโs โvalentineโ ๐ for a year.
