Valentine's Day, also called Saint Valentine's Day or the Feast of Saint Valentine. It is celebrated annually on February 14. It originated as a Christian feast day honoring a martyr named Valentine, and through later folk traditions it has also become a significant cultural, religious and commercial celebration of romance and love in many regions of the world.
The common stereotype people are thinking of when the day of Valentine's Day comes is how romantic couples celebrate it and how they celebrate it. People these days measure their love for one another by giving extravagant gifts and by pulling off grand surprises. However, I do believe that giving gifts and pulling surprises should not be the measurement of love we have for one another, instead it should be measured by how we show and express our love to them everyday and not only on valentines. Because even only a simple word is a greetings to them ; if we say it with all sincerity and care, it speaks more than expensive gifts and surprises. After all, love should be expressed and spread, not kept.
Ultimately, when it's the day of love, let us not forget who should be the greatest love we have, and that is Jesus, because God is love, and love is God. It is a reminder for us all that we love because God loves us first and He showed and demonstrated it to us. So, this month of love, let us not settle for less and bare minimum, because God showed us how to truly love.
