It is the day of love, celebrated to honour the Christian martyr named Saint Valentine, who believed in love and helped people who loved each other to get married secretly. He got caught, and was sentenced to death.
On this day a man expresses his feelings for a woman and vice versa. The man often brings chocolates, teddy bear, cake or ring for the women. Some people propose each other or give promise rings(Promise ring is for the unmarried couple). A boyfriend gives this to his girlfriend.
