Some authorities credit Geoffrey Chaucer with originating the custom of linking Valentine's Day with lovers. No link between the day and lovers exists before the time of Chaucer, thus leading some to conclude that it was this famous English author who connected the day with lovers. The fullest and earliest description of the tradition occurs in Chaucer's "Parliament of Fouls" composed around 1380. Since that time it has been traditional to connect St. Valentine's Day with love.
"Enjoy a longer lasting Valentine's Day. Be bad. Drink good." Valentine's Day has a breat day for most of the people. The man is a little bit scared by this day. Valentine's Day around the world: The Night of Sevens, a Chinese holiday that also relates to love and White Day, a similar holiday celebrated in Japan and Korea one month after Valentine's Day.
