Cada 14 de febrero se celebra en varios países del mundo con gran entusiasmo y alegría el Día de San Valentín. Un día muy especial para muchos, donde se resalta la importancia del amor y que, pese a la creencia de su origen comercial, viene de mucho antes. Concretamente del siglo III en Roma y la muerte de Valentín, un sacerdote sentenciado por celebrar en secreto matrimonios de jóvenes enamorados.
