Happy Valentine's Day!



Why is today Valentine's Day?
Why isn't Valentine's Day tomorrow?
Anyone ever think about it?
I do...


Tried to search for an answer...
But all I get is 5 pages long history of love...
Which of course I have no freaking patience to read @ 5:30pm in the office after a long hectic day...
It will be good if someone who loves to read to summarize the reason behind 14th February - the official Valentine's Day...


These are the 2 sentences that I managed to capture out of that 5 pages...
Hahahaha!


---------

The holiday is actually named after two men, both Christian martyrs named Valentine.
The day became associated with romantic love in the High Middle Ages, when the tradition of courtly love flourished.
