Valentine's Day HistoryValentine's Day is a celebration of love and companionship. The day is generally marked by the exchange of love notes, called "valentines", and other symbols of affection such as flowers and chocolates. It is an occasion not merely for couples, but also for family and friends, a day to appreciate all kinds of love. Popular practices include sending sweet or romantic messages to loved ones, and gift-giving. The observance of Valentine's Day has a long history dating back to early Roman times, but its connection to romance was popularised in the Middle Ages. In Australia, its adoption has largely been influenced by British and American traditions due to historical ties. Over the past few decades, the day has gained increasing significance with Australians, in line with growing globalisation and cultural exchange. The influence of media, particularly American movies and TV shows, has played a role in the way Australians celebrate Valentine's Day as a day of expressing affection. Valentine's Day is not a public holiday, so shops, schools, and offices remain open. On this day, Australians express their love and affection through thoughtful gestures. Many people choose to dine out, while others enjoy a quiet celebration at home. Sending flowers, particularly roses, is a common tradition, along with exchanging cards and giving gifts of confectionery. Valentine's Day in Australia is an amalgamation of borrowed traditions and homegrown customs, making it a unique blend of international and local elements of celebration. Valentine's Day is celebrated February 14th each year. Facts about Valentine's Day
