"...Valentine’s Day or the Feast of Saint Valentine, is celebrated annually on February 14. Originating as a Western Christian feast day honoring one or two early saints named Valentinus, Valentine’s Day is recognized as a significant cultural, religious celebration of romance and romantic love in many regions around the world.Love and romantic love is connected to the heart that is our spiritual center. Our inspirations, spiritual development, higher aspirations are all connected to the heart center. It is the center that is said to be not worth living without. It is essential in our relationships to open our heart centre to be able to connect to others, feel love and compassion towards them. But it is also said that we will not be able to do that unless we feel it for ourselves too...."
