That's a good question... We celebrate valentine's day because its a day when we can express our feelings to our love one and can know her or him in a better way.
St. Valentines Day is celebrated by Lovers all over the world, it commemorates the day that St. Valentine died. It is said that it was initiated by the Catholic Church to prevent people celebrating the pagan Roman festival for spring
We celebrate valentines day to express our feelings toward others and some people celebrate it to just see how many people like them and for the delicious chocolates.
We celebrate Valentines day because its a reason to love and spread it! If we didnt have Valentines day shops wouldnt make money on cards and fluffy toys.
We celebrate Valentines day because of saint Valentine he was a Priest in ome in the had time and he thought people how to over come that and express their love when he died he was made a saint and that is why we celebrate Saint Valentines Day.
We celebrate Valentine's Day because until 1969, it was one of the many Saint's Days observed by the Catholic Church. It was dedicated to the patron saint of romantic causes, St. Valentine.
Although it was removed from the Church's calendar in 1969, the religious meaning coupled with Valentine's Day's roots in Roman paganism have allowed it to continue as a holiday for everyone.
I'm not entirely sure why we celebrate this odd day, but all I do know is that Saint Valentine was a fat man who died of cardiac arrest or plain old heart failure. There maybe some connection to the Pagan celebration of Lupercalia on the 13 to 15 of February. All it was is the celebration of life, really. Men of high standing would run the streets naked with a stick and they would whip (not hard) women and children. It was a blessing for the women who weren't pregnant to become so and the women who were expecting to have less painful child birth. The children were blessed because they had made it into life. Pretty cool, huh?
To show the ones you love how special they are to you! It's not everyday that a person takes the time to really express just how much they truly Love someone!
We celebrate Valentine's Day, because until 1969, it was one of the many Saint's Days observed by the Catholic Church. It was dedicated to the patron saint ...
To show who you love that you love them! If you are alone of valentine's day, you will probably find a better person than all your friends who are showing off their dates.
Valentines day was dedicated to the patron saint of romantic causes, St. Valentine. We celebrate it because it is a day put aside every year to celebrate the people we love and care about. Even though we should be doing this every day. Valentines day is a reminded to let people know we care about them in case sometimes we do something wrong or forget how to show someone how much they mean to us. Some say that it's cliche and totally overrated and for some that's true but make sure you let people you love and care about know that because sometimes it's hard.
Today there is shortage of feeling of love in our hearts.ofcourse this day is not a celebration day of muslims but if b.coz of this day we show love to others then there is no bad effect of this day. But we should consider that we can wish only our lover. We can wish to all those persons which are important in our life like family friends. This is my opinion thank you
For one thing we do not know if we always celebrated February as the month of romance.
St. Valentine was a priest who found out that this Emperor was preventing young men to marry. Because they will be better fighters single.. So Valentine went against the Emperor and married young lovers anyway. When the Eperor found out he sentanced Valentine to death. So as Valentine was in his cell the young couples he wed came to his cell and passed him flowers and card. On February 14th, Valentine was killed but he wrote a not to his love and ended it saying to my valentine.. So a tradition was born.
By spending some good time with your friend or partner and letting him/her know how much you love and appreciate them. Also, try calling your parents and make them know you love them so much.
To celebrate your feelings of another person, to let the other person know secretly that you love them, valentines cards usually end with 'your secret admirer' so that you don't embarrass yourself in front of anyone =)

We celebrate Valentine's Day, because until 1969, it was one of the many Saint's Days observed by the Catholic Church. It was dedicated to the patron saint of romantic causes, St. Valentine. Although it was removed from the Church's calendar in 1969, the religious meaning coupled with Valentine's Day's roots in Roman paganism have allowed it to continue as a holiday for everyone.
Early Christians saw Valentine's Day as a way to honor St. Valentine, of whom there were actually three. The Catholic Church recognizes three saints by that name, all who were martyred on February 14.
The St. Valentine the day is named for was, most likely, a priest in the 3rd century who performed secret marriages when the Roman Emperor Claudius II thought single soldiers were more likely to enlist in the army. That St. Valentine was imprisoned and executed on February 4, 270. It is believed he was responsible for giving the jailer's blind daughter back her eyesight, and before his execution, he sent herss a note saying, "From your Valentine." The phrase is still widely used on valentines today.
It wasn't until 1537 that St. Valentine's day was declared an official holiday. England's King Henry VIII, known for his ways of disposing of wives, declared February 14th a holiday. It was another century and a half before religious devotional cards became non-religious cards to reflect the change in the holiday.
In 496 A.D., February 14, was declared in the name of St. Valentine by Pope Gelasius. It remained a Church holiday until 1969, when Pope Paul VI took it from the calender.
On February 14, the ancient Romans celebrated the Feast of Lupercalia in honor of Juno, the queen of the Roman gods and goddesses. Juno was also the goddess of womesn and marriage so honoring her was thought to be a fertility rite.
At the feast held the next day, the women would write love letters and stick them in a large urn. The men would pick a letter from the urn and for the next year, pursue the woman who wrote the chosen letter. This custom lasted until the 1700s when people decided their beloveds should be chosen by sight, not luck. THERE IS YOUR ANSWER GOOD LUCK!! +]
