In the 3rd century, when Emperor Claudius II issued a marriage ban to enlist more unmarried men, St. Valentine’s Bishop violated this and conducted the marriage of soldiers. As a result, he was martyred on February 14th, and it is a day to commemorate this.

In all parts of the world, this day has the meaning of a day when men and women swear to love each other. Gifts such as chocolate are also shared regardless of gender or relationship.
