Strange Facts: February 2009 Archives

Happy Valentines Day! Love is in the air and so is Dove chocolate. This holiday is celebrated all over the world. I have foreign exchange students in my schoool from Laos and Japan who say that every year they celebrate it too. But, really does anyone know where it comes from? Saint Valentine of course! He was a Saint who was martyred for refusing to give up his religion. On Feburary 13th during Roman times Saint Valentine put up notes, flowers, and let people know how much he was devoted to his faith. In memory we got a holiday called Valentines Day.
