Valentine’s Day is celebrated on the 14th of February and is a day to display romantic love and celebrate friendship. The occasion became associated with romantic love when Geoffrey Chaucer based many of his stories in the Canterbury Tales around ‘courtly love’ in the 14th century.

St. Valentine is a saint famously associated with Valentines day, being the day's namesake.  A common legend is that he defied the emperor's orders and secretly married couples to spare the husbands from war. These days lovers will typically show their affection with chocolates, flowers and greeting cards with sweet sentiments.
