Most of the time people think of Valentines Day as a holiday to get gifts from or for someone special. Valentines Day makes people think about hearts, candy, bears, and flowers. There is actually religious history behind the Valentines holiday. Valentines Day was named after Saint Valentine. The day comes from an ancient Roman celebration which used to be on the 15th of February. It was soon changed to the 14th of February for a fest day. Now onstead of being a traditional holiday, Valentines Day has become very commercialized.
