	Celebrations Around the World

Valentine’s Day has been celebrated on February 14 for hundreds of years. It
is popular in England, France, Canada, Australia, Mexico and the United States. No one is exactly sure how Valentine’s Day came to be. Many believe it is a mix of two ancient Roman holidays and a Christian holiday honoring Saint Valen-tine. The date of February 14 as Valen-tine’s Day was chosen by Pope Gelasius in 498 A.D. It is not clear which saint was to be honored on Valentine’s Day. There were three Catholic saints named Valentine or Valentinus. Valentine was
one of the most popular saints in England and in France. Valentine cards began to be produced in the 1840’s. Now, more than one billion Valentine’s cards are sent each year!
