St. Valentine's Day （情人节）
　　In 496 AD Saint Pope Gelasius named February 14 as "Valentine's Day". Although it's not an official holiday, most Americans observe this day.

　　Whatever the odd mixture of origins, St. Valentine's Day is now a day for sweethearts. It is the day that you show your friend or loved one that you care. You can send candy to someone you think is special. Or you can send roses, the flowers of love. Most people send "valentines" a greeting card named after the notes that St. Valentine's received in jail. Valentine can be sentimental, romantic, and heartfelt. They can be funny and friendly. If the sender is shy, valentines can be anonymous.

　　Americans of all ages love to send and receive valentines. Handmade valentines created by cutting hearts out of color paper, show that a lot of thought were put into making them personal. Valentine's can be heart-shaped, or have hearts on them. In elementary schools children make valentines for their classmates and put them into a large decorated box. On February 14, the teacher opens the box and distributes the valentines to each student. After the student read their valentines they have a small party with refreshments.

　　For teenagers and adults, major newspapers throughout the country have a Valentine's Day offer. Anyone can send in a message, for a small fee of course, destined for a would-be sweetheart, a good friend, an acquaintance or even a spouse of fifty years. The message is printed in a special section of the newspaper on February 14.
