Saint Valentine's Day, often simply Valentine's Day, is observed on February 14 each year. The original "St. Valentine" was a liturgical celebration of one or more early Christian saint named Valentinus.
The day first became associated with romantic love in the circle of Geoffrey Chaucer in the High Middle Ages, when the tradition of courtly love flourished. By the 15th century, it had evolved into an occasion in which lovers expressed their love for each other by presenting flowers, offering confectionery, and sending greeting cards (known as "valentines").
Modern Valentine's Day symbols include the heart-shaped outline, doves, and the figure of the winged Cupid. Since the 19th century, handwritten valentines have given way to mass-produced greeting cards. The rise of Internet popularity at the turn of the millennium is creating new traditions. Millions of people use, every year, digital means of creating and sending Valentine's Day greeting messages such as e-cards, love coupons or printable greeting cards. An estimated 15 million e-valentines were sent in 2010!
This cache is VERY special. PLEASE take care to set this cache back exactly as found. We are determined to get some unique caches out this season!This one marks the start of our "NEW" designs!
Our 2012 caches will have a theme of "Holidays", or "months" that are just special in their own ways! All of these caches are leading up to a VERY SPECIAL hide.
