St Valentine's Day. It is a very sentimental unofficial holiday, which is celebrated on the 14th February by those who believe in love and friendship. Boys and girls, husbands and wives, just friends send nice cards to each other with warm greetings on the day. No one can trace origin of this European tradition, but the legend tells us a story of an Italian monk Valentine who helped young people to marry breaching thus the ruler's law. St Valentine was executed but people still remember him and celebrate this saint's day as a day of love. The best presents are small trifles, chocolates and greeting cards.

The history of the holiday
St. Valentine’s Day is a religious holiday.Do you know,who was St.Valentine? One of the legend says,he was a Christian priest,who had been thrown in prison for his teaching. On February,14 Valentine was beheaded,not only because he performed a miracle-he cured the jailer’s daughter from her blindness the night before he was executed-but he wrote a letter to the girl signing it «From your Valentine ».

Traditions In some countries, a young woman may receive a gift of clothing from a young man.If she keeps the gift, it means she will marry him. If you cut an apple in half and count how many seeds are inside, you will also know how many children you will have. In Wales wooden love spoons were carved and given as gifts on February,14. Hearts, keys were favourite decorations on the spoons. If a young woman saw a robin flying overhead on Valentine’s Day, it meant she would marry a sailor. If a woman saw a goldfish, she would marry a millionaire.

Love poems What’s in a name? That’s which we call a rose
By any other word would smell as sweet. So Romeo would, were he not called Romeo, Retain that dear perfection which he owes Without that title.Romeo, deny your name; And for your name,which is no part of you, Take all myself. W. Shakespare She walks in beauty,like the night Of cloudless climes and starry skies, And all that’s best of dark and bright, Meet in the aspect and her eyes; Thus mellow’d to that tender light Which heaven and gaudy day denies Lord Byron
