We wish you a
wonderful Valentine’s Day:
“There is nothing more wonderful than finding the one person you get to annoy for the rest of your life.”
Over time, numerous customs developed that still shape the day today. One of the best-known traditions is giving flowers, with red roses leading the way as a token of love. In the past, handwritten love letters were a popular gift for one’s beloved.
Valentine’s Day is celebrated in different ways in many cultures. In Japan, for example, women give men chocolate on 14 February, and on “White Day” in March, the men return the favour with gifts for their loved ones. In South Korea, there are even monthly days of love, including “Black Day” for singles. Europe, too, has its own traditions, such as the riddle letters in Denmark or St Dwynwen’s Day in Wales.
