Valentine's Day is a day of love and affection, commonly linked to romantic relationships but also to friendships and family ties. It is said to have been derived from St. Valentine, a person known for his acts of love and compassion. It has, over the years, become a day when individuals show appreciation to their loved ones through gestures such as presenting them with gifts, writing them letters, or spending time with them.
