What is Valentine's Day?

Valentine's Day is the day of the year people worldwide celebrate love and, in general, the people they care for.

The celebration started in the past as a remembrance of the martyrdom of two Christian Saints named Valentin. With time, the celebration shifted toward romance (and not only): in the 14th century, poets were writing and referring to their loved ones a"Valentine".

The diffusion of printing and increased access to postal and other services marked the diffusion of the celebration to the masses. Cards dedicated to "Valentines" spread, and in the 20th century, chocolate made its appearance.

Valentine's Day has become almost a business lately, but nothing stops you from celebrating in simple ways!

How to calculate the days until Valentine's day

Valentine's Day falls every year on the 14th February: the final date in our Valentine's Day countdown is fixed! To calculate the days until Valentine's Day, choose a starting date and follow these easy steps:

  1. If the starting date is in February, before Valentine's Day, subtract the day number of the day after from 14, and you'll get the number of whole days in your Valentine's Day countdown.
  2. If not, start by counting the days in the starting month: subtract the duration of the month and the day number of the day after the starting date.
  3. Add to this number 14, the number of days of the final month.
  4. Add the duration of the whole months between the final date and February. Notice that if your starting date is before the end of February, you must check if the year is leap.
  5. Sum these results: you calculate the days until Valentine's Day!
