Valentine’s Day
Why do we celebrate love on February 14th? Why do we rush out and buy chocolate and presents? What if we don’t have anyone to give to or don’t get anything ourselves?

The day of love
February 14 is Valentine’s Day. In Sweden, they say Alla hjärtans dag (the day of all hearts). In Norway, some call it Kjærlighetens dag (the day of love). But we use the English name the most and it is in English-speaking countries it is most celebrated. In Norway, Valentine’s Day started by being mentioned in a newspaper at the end of the 19th century. From the late 1900s, it became a tradition. Why do we celebrate? To find the answer, we need to go to Rome in Italy.
