Today is celebrated Valentine's Day or also known as the Day of Love and Friendship. This is a date in which love as a couple is highlighted, the marital union is celebrated or it is simply celebrated with family and friends.
On this long-awaited Valentine's Day, it is typical to give yourself flowers, soft toys, chocolates, sexy gifts or go out for a romantic dinner. In addition, social networks seem to be the perfect platform for lovebirds to waste love.
But many wonder: if Cupid is a baby in diapers who shoots arrows everywhere, who is the saint they mention so much? Valentine?
The story tells that in the 3rd century, Valentine was a priest who opposed the orders of Emperor Claudius II, who opposed the marriage union between couples, because he considered that the soldiers at that time had better performance without family.
Valentin took the initiative to secretly marry couples and celebrate marriages in churches secretly until Claudius II issued a death sentence upon realizing it. The event took place on February 14, 207. Since then, he was named as the saint of lovers.
Although Valentine's Day has become a tradition celebrated internationally, mainly in Catholic countries, in other cultures the same day is celebrated in a different way.
Singleness is also celebrated in the United States. For those who do not have a partner there is the Quirkyalone, which is a day to pamper yourself and enjoy solitude. There is also usually a "single's Valentine", a meeting between single friends to celebrate friendship.
In Japan it is the day for women to conquer their loved ones with chocolate on February 14, but a month later it is the men's turn on White Day.
