Happy Valentines Day! Feb 14, 2025

Happy Valentines Day!

Love is in the air today: it"s Valentine"s Day! Across the globe, millions of flowers will be sent, and romantic restaurants will be fully booked. This holiday has its origins in the story of Saint Valentine, a 3rd-century Roman priest who, according to legend, secretly married couples to spare the husbands from conscription into the Roman army.
