St. Valentine's Day falls on February 14, and is the traditional day on which lovers in certain

cultures let each other know about

their love, commonly by sending Valentine's cards, which are often

anonymous.

The history of Valentine's day can be

traced back to a Catholic Church feast day, in honor of Saint

Valentine.

The day's associations

with romantic love arrived after the High Middle Ages, during which the concept of

romantic love was formulated.

Valentine's Day

If I could be the postmanFor just one single time,

I'd choose to carry Valentines

So lovely and so fine.I would not mind the

heavy load,Or mind my tired feet.

If I could scatter happiness

All up and down the street.

In the United States, the first mass-

produced valentines of embossed paper lace were produced

and sold shortly after 1847 by Esther

Howland (1828 1904) of Worcester,

Massachusetts.

Her father operated a large book and

stationery store, and she took her

inspiration from an English valentine she had received. (Since 2001, the Greeting

Card Association has been giving an annual

"Esther Howland Award for a Greeting

Card Visionary„.)
