0:21 The First Valentine's Day - Feast Of Saint Valentine - 496 AD
Valentine's Day became associated with romantic love in the 14th century. There was a Roman Festival called "Lupercalia," in which boys drew girls' names from a box to ask them out.
0:55 In The United States, Valentine's Day Is February 14 And Is Considered A Romantic Holiday
It is not a government "holiday," so people still go to work and school. They give gifts such as flowers and candy. Kids in school enjoy trading Valentine's Day cards. Decorations consist of cupids, doves, hearts, and roses. You will find heart-shaped candy with romantic quotes written on them along with red and pink teddy bears, roses, balloons, and many heart-shaped items.

You can celebrate with friends even if you don't have a lover. Enjoy dinner with them, exchange cards and gifts for fun. Some people call this Galentine's Day.

2:29 First Let's Head For Brazil In South America
Brazilians celebrate Dia Dos Namorados or "Lovers' Day," on June 12. They exchange gifts and share dinners with friends and relatives. June 13 is St. Anthony's Day as he is the Saint for match-making. Single women perform rituals called simpatias in hopes St. Anthony will bring them a husband.
3:17 Now Let's Fly To Chile
Chile is called the "country of poets." Nobel Prize winners in literature Gabriela Mistral and Pablo Neruda are from Chile. They celebrate the February 14 Valentine's Day. They enjoy nice dinners and romantic music along with salsa contests. Gifts in Chile include flowers, chocolates, exquisite jewelry, and travel plans.
4:11 Let's Head For Europe Next And Visit Slovenia
On February 14 in Slovenia, they work in the fields as St. Valentine is one of the patron saints of spring, good health, and beekeepers. It is the first day that workers head back to the fields and many proposals occur in these fields. More couples recognize March 12, St. Gregory's Day, as a romantic holiday. It is the beginning of spring. Birds are joined in wedlock. Some believe that if a young woman looks up in the sky, the first bird she sees will be the type of husband she will marry. They float lights in tiny wooden boats and houses down the river as Saint Gregory tossed light into the after on that day.
5:27 Next, We Will Fly To Germany
It is an adult holiday in Germany. The American military personnel brought it to Germany in the 1950s. The pig is the symbol of luck and lust in Germany. Lovers exchange tiny pink rosebuds, forget-me-nots, and carnations. There are chocolates in the shape of pigs. They love Lebkuchen, heart shaped cakes with romantic sayings on them. They give exquisite jewelry, a box of chocolates, and nice cards. A romantic dinner at home or in a restaurant is great.
6:36 Now We Will Head For Asia And Visit Taiwan
Twice a year in Taiwan they love to give flowers. First on February 14 and then on July 7. July 7 comes from a Chinese fairytale from a long time ago. A young man named Niulang was a cow-herder. He took his brother's nine cows to a meadow but could not come home until he had ten. He found an old sick buffalo, and he helped it recover. It took him to a river where they saw 7 beautiful fairies bathing there. They hid the clothes of the prettiest one. The other fairies left and Zhinu cried. Niulang gave her her clothes, they fell in love, married, and had two kids but her parents were mad that she married a mortal and took her back to heaven. He flew with his two kids to see Zhinu in Heaven but the Queen Mother made the Milky Way with her Hairpin to block them. Magpies formed a bridge so they could meet and she let them meet every year on July 7. The eve before July 7 is called Qixi Day. Also, July 7 has Qiaiao Jie day or Begging Skills Day where single young women send incense to Zhinu asking her for wisdom and talent.
8:41 On February 14 In Taiwan, the men give elaborate flowers to their friends. One red flower means "an only love." Eleven red flowers mean "favorite." 99 red flowers mean "forever." 108 red flowers mean "Will you marry me?"
