Why do we need to celebrate Valentine's Day?

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

We celebrate Valentines Day because of love. Love spreads through everybody. It's for romantic couples and a lot of confessions. It's the only day that makes your heart fill with joy.

I don't celebrate it, although my girlfriend does and it really depends upon the person although that video I linked is pretty funny (if that is your style of humour)

Answer 3

Valentine's Day is a day to celebrate love for family and significant others. It is a day to let them know how much they mean to you, and to give them special gifts and cards.

According to the Greeting Card Association, an estimated one billion valentine cards are sent each year, making Valentine's Day the second largest card-sending holiday of the year. (An estimated 2.6 billion cards are sent for Christmas.) Approximately 85 percent of all valentines are purchased by women. In addition to the United States, Valentine's Day is celebrated in Canada, Mexico, the United Kingdom, France, and Australia. The history of Valentine's Day - and its patron saint - is shrouded in mystery. But we do know that February has long been a month of romance. St. Valentine's Day, as we know it today, contains vestiges of both Christian and ancient Roman tradition.
