SOME FACTS ABOUT VALENTINE'S. Valentine's Day is celebrated on February 14 in many countries throughout the world. It is the day lovers express their love for each other.

• The day is closely associated with the exchange of "valentines," notes expressing a mutual exchange of love.
• Modern Valentine symbols include the winged Cupid, the heart-shaped outline, and doves.
• The holiday is named after two of the many Early Christian martyrs named Valentine.
• The Valentines honored on February 14 are Valentine of Rome, a priest in Rome martyred in AD 269, and Valentine of Terni, a bishop of Interamna martyred in AD 197 during Christian persecution by the Emperor Aurelian.
• The day became associated with romantic love in the High Middle Ages with Geoffrey Chaucer. This was a time when courtly love (comprised of chivalry and noble expressions of love and admiration) flourished.
• The U.S. Greeting Card Association estimates that about 1 billion valentines are sent each year world wide. This makes Valentine's the second-largest card-sending holiday behind Christmas.
