Long time lovers
Valentine’s Day, also known as Saint Valentine’s Day or the Feast of Saint has captured lovers attention for centuries.
The day was first associated with romantic love back in the 14th century with people celebrating it on the 14th of February ever since.
The day celebrates being in love after Saint Valentine was condemned and thrown into jail where he fell in love with the jailers daughter sending her a love letter titled “from you valentine”.
