In many countries it is observed by sending cards to your friends and candies or flowers to your husband or wife if youre married, or to your boyfriend or girlfriend if youre not married. In Japan, some girls even give their fathers chocolates.Why is this holiday for people in love called Valentines Day?One explanation comes from a Christian man whose name was something like Valentine. He lived at a time when the Roman Emperor refused to allow any Roman soldiers to get married for any reason. Many couples came to Valentine to be married.

One tradition says that he wrote notes to his friends by marking on leaves and then throwing them out of the window of his prison. The leaves were shaped like a heart. Valentine was killed on February 14th and Valentines Day recalls his tragic death.On Valentines Day, American elementary school children make or buy Valentine cards, write the name of a classmate on them, and take them to school and put them in a special Valentines Day box.
