**Indore, MP (Feb 6, 2024):** Valentine’s Week, a global celebration of love and affection, is set to begin on February 7th and culminate on February 14th, 2025. This week-long event, starting with Rose Day and ending with Valentine’s Day, is marked by the exchange of gifts and expressions of romantic feelings.

Each day holds a special significance: Rose Day (February 7th) features the gifting of roses, with different colors symbolizing various emotions (red for love, yellow for friendship, pink for admiration, white for purity). Hug Day (February 8th), Kiss Day (February 9th) and other days leading up to Valentine’s Day, each provide unique opportunities to express affection. Valentine’s Day itself is celebrated with dates, gifts, and quality time spent together.

The origins of Valentine’s Day are shrouded in legend. One popular story connects it to Saint Valentine, a Roman priest who, according to legend, wrote a love letter before his death, signing it “Your Valentine.” Another theory links it to ancient Roman festivals. Regardless of its exact beginnings, Valentine’s Day was officially recognized as a holiday in 496 AD and later formalized by Pope Gelasius in the 5th century.

The week serves as an annual reminder to celebrate romantic relationships and the importance of expressing love and affection.
