February 14 is St. Valentine's Day in Moldova.
On February 14, many countries around the world celebrate Valentine's Day, or Valentine's Day, which is considered one of the most romantic holidays of the year. This day is also gaining special popularity in Moldova: shops, cafes and restaurants are preparing special promotions and events for couples in love, and city squares are decorated with hearts and festive installations.
According to legend, the holiday is associated with the Roman priest Valentine, who in 270 defied the ban of Emperor Claudius II of Gotha and secretly married lovers. For this, Valentin was imprisoned and executed on February 14, which became a symbolic day of love and devotion.
In Moldova, the traditions of celebrating Valentine's Day include the exchange of postcards, gifts and flowers. In recent years, young couples have been actively using social media and city events to publicly express their feelings, turning the holiday into a large-scale event for the whole country.
