Valentine's Day has its origins in ancient Roman traditions. During the 3rd century AD, Saint Valentine defied the Roman emperor's ban on marriage and performed secret weddings for lovers. He was imprisoned and later executed on February 14th, which became known as St. Valentine's Day. Today, Valentine's Day is celebrated in many countries with the exchanging of cards, flowers, chocolates and romantic gestures between lovers. However, some criticize that the holiday has become overly commercialized in recent decades.
