A short history of Valentine's Day

Valentine's Day is named after Saint Valentine, an early Christian martyr whose feast day is 14 February. Its link with romance appears in English literature in the 14th century, including in poems by Geoffrey Chaucer about birds choosing their mates in mid-February.

  • Handwritten notes called valentines became popular in the 18th and 19th centuries; printed cards spread widely in the 1800s.
  • In the 1840s Esther Howland began selling elaborate lace valentines in the United States and became known as the "Mother of the American Valentine".
  • Today many people also celebrate friendship, sending cards to classmates, friends and family.

How the countdown is worked out

The target is midnight at the start of Valentine's Day in your device's time zone. The time left is the difference between that moment and now, split into whole days (86,400 seconds each), then hours, minutes and seconds. Because it uses real elapsed time, a daylight saving change before the day is handled automatically. Sleeps are the calendar days from today to the day itself, and weekdays to go count Monday to Friday dates from tomorrow up to the day before. The day after the holiday, the countdown switches to next year.
