Not so hard to find.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valentine%27s_Day

Quote:The day was first associated with romantic love in the circle of Geoffrey Chaucer in the High Middle Ages, when the tradition of courtly love flourished. In 18th-century England, it evolved into an occasion in which lovers expressed their love for each other by presenting flowers, offering confectionery, and sending greeting cards (known as "valentines"). Valentine's Day symbols that are used today include the heart-shaped outline, doves, and the figure of the winged Cupid. S

It's your basic Hallmark Holiday.

I agree with Ivy.
