Found an intimate fact about the history of the celebration of Valentine's Day! I hope you like it. I just rewritten a little so that the text was shorter! At the end of the current working week in Russia, and not only such a familiar, but no less mysterious holiday - Valentine's Day will be celebrated. Despite the fact that February 14th is Valentine's Day, it is possible and necessary to celebrate it not only for those who have a soul mate. February 14 applies to everyone who believes in a bright and sincere feeling. Therefore, congratulations on this day are addressed not only to partners in relationships and personal life to each other. But also friends, pals, girlfriends who wish to meet true love. Valentine's Day, in particular, in Russia is not an official holiday and a day off. Nevertheless, all those who believe and / or seek true love try to celebrate it both in public places and in the family circle. In Moscow this year, for example, couples in love can spend a romantic evening in a retro tram. In addition, many couples choose to marry. Many countries have their own traditions for celebrating Valentine's Day. For example, in the USA it has been celebrated since the second half of the 18th century. Today, in addition to couples in love, children are joining the celebration. They make holiday hearts and give them to others. In neighboring Belarus, February 14th is also a day of kisses. And in Poland they are convinced that the relics of St. Valentine are stored precisely in their country. Therefore, on February 14, all lovers try to visit Poznan, where they pray to the remains of the saint. In Japan, competitions are held on that day for the most high-profile declarations of love, and in Germany, which celebrates the holiday from the mid-20th century, it is customary to play weddings or arrange engagements on this day.
