February 14th, known as Valentine's Day, is a special occasion when people around the world celebrate love.
Love comes in many forms—it can be from parents, siblings, or that special someone. This day provides an opportunity to express how much you value your loved ones and how significant they are in your life.
Unfortunately, in my country, Valentine's Day is not officially celebrated due to religious and cultural reasons. However, some young people choose to observe it as a celebration of love and affection.
Nowadays, more people, especially couples, take this day seriously, viewing it as an essential milestone in their relationships. While the celebration may seem typical in Iran and resembles its Western version, only certain shops in downtown areas sell items like big red hearts, chocolates, and other symbols of Valentine’s Day.
You can see many couples walking through the city carrying red gifts, enjoying each other's company, and celebrating the day in their own unique way.
Interestingly, many Iranian people, especially those with more conservative views, tend to celebrate "Sepandarmazgan" which is celebrated on 17 February. On this day, they appreciate the importance of love and connection in human relationships by giving gifts to one another, often in heart-shaped forms.
In summary, Although the government does not allow the celebration of Valentine's Day, people have found their own ways to enjoy and commemorate love on this day.
