Why do we celebrate this day of love?

Valentine's Day is a holiday that is celebrated on February 14th each year. It is a day that is associated with love, romance, and affection. The holiday has its roots in ancient Roman times, and it is named after Saint Valentine, a Christian martyr who was killed for secretly performing marriages for soldiers who were forbidden to marry.
