Just by sheer calendar coincidence, this week’s article comes on the eve of Valentine’s Day. As many already know, Valentine’s Day originated as a Christian feast day honouring a martyr named Valentine. The day became associated with love in the 14th and 15th centuries.
By the 18th century, it had evolved into an occasion for couples to express their affection through flowers, confectionery, and greeting cards (known as “valentines”). Fast forward to today, Valentine’s Day has become a significant cultural, religious, and commercial celebration of romance and love in many parts of the world.
