Valentine's Day, or St Valentine's Day, is celebrated every year on 14 February.
It's the day when people show their affection for another person or people by sending cards, flowers or chocolates with messages of love.
The day gets its name from a famous saint, but there are several stories of who he was.
The popular belief about St Valentine is that he was a priest from Rome in the third century AD.
How did Valentine's Day start?
The first Valentine's Day was in the year 496!
Having a particular Valentine's Day is a very old tradition, thought to have originated from a Roman festival.
The Romans had a festival called Lupercalia in the middle of February - officially the start of their springtime.

We will not be in school for St Valentines Day this year and with a lot of children off this week for various reasons, I decided to add some fun crafts and cards for you to do with your children at home.
Have a lovely St Valentines Day.
