  2. ST. VALENTINE‘S DAY Saint Valentine's Day, commonly shortened to Valentine's Day, is an annual commemoration held on February 14. It is traditionally a day on which lovers express their love for each other by presenting flowers, offering confectionery, and sending greeting cards(known as "valentines"). The day first became associated with romantic love in the circle of Geoffrey Chaucer in the High Middle Ages, when the tradition of courtly love flourished.Modern Valentine's Day symbols include the heart-shaped outline, doves, and the figure of the winged Cupid. Since the 19th century, handwritten valentines have given way to mass-produced greeting cards. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valentine's_Day

Saint Patrick's Day was made an official feast day in the early 17th century, and has gradually become a secular celebration of Irish culture in general.The day is generally characterised by the attendance of churc services, wearing of green attire (especially shamrocks), and the lifting of Lenten restrictions on eating and drinking alcohol, which is often proscribed during the rest of the season http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saint_Patrick's_Day
