2 St. Valentine's Day falls on February 14, and is the traditional day on which lovers in certain cultures let each other know about their love, commonly by sending Valentine's cards, which are often anonymous.

3 The history of Valentine's day can be traced back to a Catholic Church feast day, in honor of Saint Valentine.

4 The day's associations with romantic love arrived after the High Middle Ages, during which the concept of romantic love was formulated.

7 Valentine's Day If I could be the postman For just one single time, I'd choose to carry Valentines So lovely and so fine. I would not mind the heavy load, Or mind my tired feet. If I could scatter happiness All up and down the street.

8 In the United States, the first mass-produced valentines of embossed paper lace were produced and sold shortly after 1847 by Esther Howland (1828 1904) of Worcester, Massachusetts.

9 Her father operated a large book and stationery store, and she took her inspiration from an English valentine she had received. (Since 2001, the Greeting Card Association has been giving an annual "Esther Howland Award for a Greeting Card Visionary„.)
