In the United States, people send cards, called valentines, to their friends, family and loved ones. Verses on valentines often rhyme and express affection, but almost all ask "Be My Valentine".
School children decorate their classrooms with bright red paper hearts. They exchange gifts, candy hearts with messages and valentines.
There are many legends about the origins of this celebration, from priests who would marry couples secretly, to imprisoned men madly in love with the jailer's daughter, but nobody knows for sure where this tradition comes from.
