Valentine’s Day cards, known as “tarjetas de San Valentn” in Spanish, are greetings exchanged between loved ones, friends, and family members on February 14th. These expressions of affection can range from simple notes to elaborate creations, often featuring traditional symbols of love such as hearts, flowers, and cupids.
The exchange of heartfelt messages plays a significant role in celebrating Valentine’s Day, strengthening bonds and expressing emotions that often go unspoken in daily life. This tradition has historical roots in the ancient Roman festival of Lupercalia and the martyrdom of Saint Valentine, evolving over centuries into the contemporary celebration of love and affection. This practice fosters connection and contributes to the overall warmth and appreciation associated with the holiday.
