Valentines Day. This is one of the most popular holidays, because it celebrates love and happiness. This holiday is celebrated on February 14.
One "...theory from Belarus states that the holiday originates from the story of Saint Valentine, who upon rejection by his mistress was so heartbroken that he took a knife to his chest and sent her his still-beating heart as a token of his undying love for her. Hence, heart-shaped cards are now sent as a tribute to his overwhelming passion and suffering." -Wikipedia
People enjoy this holiday because they want to tell each other how they feel about each other. They give flowers, cards, and different candies, usually chocolate. This is an interesting holiday, because there really isn't that much of a reason for this holiday, except the giving and receiving of presents, and the day of fun.
