Valentine’s Day is traditionally associated with the celebration of romantic love and affection. Valentine’s Day may be associated with romance, but the origin of the holiday isn’t exactly romantic. It originated as a Christian feast day honouring one or two early Christian martyrs named Saint Valentine.

The celebration of Valentine’s Day has, however, been banned in Indonesia, Pakistan, and Saudi Arabia due to beliefs the holiday conflicts with Islamic culture.
