Chinese Valentine’s?

Today is ‘Yuan Xiao’, the 15th Day of the Chinese New Year.

Never knew that. It’s a pretty interesting fact, but I still prefer the actual Valentines day.

The reason behind all of this is a kindly cleric named Valentine who died more than a thousand years ago.

It is not exactly known why the 14th of February is known as Valentine’s Day or if the noble Valentine really had any relation to this day.
The history of Valentine’s Day is impossible to be obtained from any archive and the veil of centuries gone by has made the origin behind this day more difficult to trace. It is only some legends that are our source for the history of Valentine’s Day.

Well, if you’re interested, go research it. Wikipedia can be an interesting source, if not completely reliable sometimes.

Thank you for the best Valentines I’ve ever had,

And here’s to the many, many more that are going to come.
