Valentine’s Day is right around the corner as it is celebrated annually on February 14th. It was originated as a Western Christian feast day honoring an early saint named Valentinus. Today, it is recognized as a celebration of love and romance in many places around the world. Many people celebrate by sharing gifts with their significant others and going on romantic dates.
