Valentine’s Day holds special significance for young people, who use the occasion to declare their love and affection for one another. Traditionally, young couples exchange gifts such as red roses, symbolizing love, and often use this day to make romantic proposals.
The origins of Valentine's Day trace back to the commemoration of Saint Valentine, whose death penalty led to the establishment of this celebration. Over time, Valentine's Day has become widely recognized and celebrated across cultures, serving as an opportunity to honor love and companionship. It is observed annually on February 14, marking the day of Saint Valentine's execution.
