2017年情人節日期：2017年2月14日，農曆正月十八，星期二
St Valentine's Day is celebrated on February 14 of each year, the reason why it is celebrated on this day is because this was the day that the Patron Saint of Lovers “St Valentine” was supposedly executed on.
On this day lovers all around the world mark this occasion as a day for sending poems, cards, flowers or candy, etc. They might also be a social gathering or ball to mark the occasion.
Many Valentine's Day customs involved ways that single women could learn who their future husbands would be. Englishwomen of the 1700's wrote men's names on scraps of paper, rolled each in a little piece of clay, and dropped them all into water. The first paper that rose to the surface supposedly had the name of a woman's true love.
Also in the 1700's, unmarried women pinned five bay leaves to their pillows on the eve of Valentine's Day. They pinned one leaf to the center of the pillow and one to each corner. If the charm worked, they saw their future husbands in their dreams.
One of the oldest customs was the practice of writing women's names on slips of paper and drawing them from a jar. The woman whose name was drawn by a man became his valentine, and he paid special attention to her. Many men gave gifts to their valentines. In some areas, a young man gave his valentine a pair of gloves. Wealthy men gave fancy balls to honor their valentines.
Valentine cards became popular in Great Britain in the nineteenth century. Noted artist Kate Greenaway created cards which featured joyful children and beautiful gardens. Esther Howland was one of the first Valentine card manufacturers in the United States.
Inspired by a British card, she began production in 1847. Her cards featured lace and paper flowers and leaves. Other card manufacturers emphasized Cupid, the pudgy, winged son of Venus, the goddess of love. In Roman lore, Cupid is known as Eros, the son of Aphrodite.
In the United States and Canada, children exchange valentines with their friends. In some schools, the children hold a classroom party and put all the valentines into a box they have decorated.
At the end of the day, the teacher or one child distributes the cards. Many children make their own valentines from paper doilies, red paper, wallpaper samples, and pictures cut from magazines. Sometimes they buy kits that include everything needed to make valentines. Many children send their largest, fanciest cards to their parents and teachers.
In Europe, people celebrate Valentine's Day in many ways. British children sing special Valentine's Day songs and receive gifts of candy, fruit, or money. In some areas of England, people bake valentine buns with caraway seeds, plums, or raisins. People in Italy hold a Valentine's Day feast.
Valentine's Day曾是英國人喜愛的節日，隨着新大陸的開發，英國移民把這一富有浪漫色彩的節日帶到了北美，逐漸在美國生根開花。
年輕人是聖Valentine節當之無愧的主角，他們要在這一節日裏鄭重其事地為戀人選擇禮物、贈送鮮花，表達自己的愛慕之情。痴情的姑娘可能會按照古老的傳説，在聖Valentine節前夜把月桂樹葉放在枕頭上，盼望在夢中同自己的心上人相會。
現在情人節已經不單是情人們的節日，也是各種朋友之間交換感謝的一個日子，是一個大眾化的節日。情人節這一天，不僅僅情侶們互贈卡片和禮物，人們也給自己的父母以及其他受自己尊敬和愛戴的人贈禮物和卡片。Valentine's Day就是這樣一個充滿愛情和友誼的歡樂節日。
1、你想我是應該的，你應該還要更想我才對，因為你已經偷走我的心啦！
2、評論：看似平凡，卻具有讓感情淪陷的殺傷力，而且越往後看越令人小鹿亂撞，果然功夫了得！
3、首先先在心裏想一個9以下的數字，加1，再乘以2，再加4，再除以2，最後減掉一開始心裏想的那個數字，再加上517，這結果就是代表我想對你説的話！
4、評論：算完沒？答案是520（我愛你）啦！説肉麻嘛是普普，不過能想出這麼神奇的數學公式，不管用哪個數字結果都一樣，不得不拍拍手！
5、我不知道天長地久怎麼寫，我只知道怎麼寫你的名字，一千遍一萬遍！
6、甜蜜度滿分，但如果落花有意、流水無情，可能會嫌你書讀得不夠多，這麼簡單的幾個字也不會寫。
7、如果你流淚，我願是你手裏的手紙；如果你醒來，我願是你眼中的眼屎；如果你熱死了，我願是你身上僅剩的布三尺。
8、早晨我吃不下飯，因為我想你；中午我吃不下飯，因為我更加想你；晚上我吃不下飯，因為我瘋狂想你；夜裏我睡不着，因為……我餓！
9、你是我的心，你是我的肝，你是我的3/4;你是我的腸，你是我的胃，你是我心中的玫瑰！你的嘴角像香蕉，你的笑容像麪包，愛你心情永不消！
10、想送你玫瑰，可惜價錢太貴；想給你安慰，可我還沒學會；想給你下跪，可戒指還在保險櫃；只能發個短信把你追，希望我們永不吹。
美國：男性在這一天向他的女性朋友説“情人節快樂”已經沒有特別的感情關係，而逐漸演變為有如公開場合的打招呼的形式。但男性較少在公開場合對另一位男性如此打招呼。
中國台灣：因受鄰近國家日本的影響，也慶祝這個節日，但與日本不同的是，在台灣卻是男生送女生禮物。另外，沒有交往對象的年輕男女也常選在這天向喜歡的人告白，情侶亦會特別在這天約會。
澳大利亞：澳大利亞是一個浪漫的國度，家鄉與海為鄰，天然海貝資源豐富，在情人節這一天，戀人們常把代表浪漫愛情的紫貝殼送給對方，以示對愛情的忠貞。在一些青春偶像劇中，我們也常可以看到男主角送天然紫貝殼給女主角，表示對對方的愛慕。
中國：改革開放後，不少年輕男女也開始慶祝這個節日，目前年輕人對該節日的重視程度已經可以與春節、中秋節相比。一般是男生送女生禮物比較正式，女生也要有所表示。除此之外的重要活動內容是到比較浪漫的地點共進晚餐，互相在網絡愛牆發送祝福也成為新的時尚，表示愛情的承諾與永恆。對於正在追求女孩的男生來説，如果這一天女孩接受了他的情人節禮物或者表示接受邀請，就意味着戀愛關係的確定。由於對“情人”一詞的不同理解（在大陸用語中，“情人”有時包含“情婦”、“情夫”，即合法婚姻以外的男女關係的意味），遭到一些非議。另一方面，由於擔心西方節日不斷湧入中國，沖淡了對中國傳統節日的慶祝，這一節日經常遭到部分人士的反對。
香港：受到西方文化長期影響下，慶祝情人節已有多年曆史。男女會互贈禮物，男送女的標準禮物通常是鮮花、巧克力、首飾等，女送男的一般是手錶、領帶等男士服飾用品，並且常會到餐廳享用燭光晚餐。
澳門：在情人節日，男會送鮮花給女，女則會送給男巧克力。男女情侶都非常重視這天的節日。
日本：女性送巧克力給她喜歡的男性，而男性則在一個月後的。白色情人節（ホワイトデー，WhiteDay）回禮表衷腸，這是日本商人於1977年炒作的結果。《讀賣新聞》解釋説：“禮物指定是白巧克力，原因是避免吝嗇的男子把女友送贈的巧克力收藏起來，然後又將其原封不動地作為回禮。”
