Latvia Edition
Dia del Amor y la Amistad leads today's complete edition for Latvia.
Daily Edition
Official observances, world days, local context, and everyday celebrations for people who need something worth reading, sharing, or talking about today.
Colombians celebrate this on the third Saturday of September in some regions, but February 14 still brings roses, serenatas, and the aggressive marketing of every restaurant in the Zona Rosa. The real Colombian love language is bringing someone a tinto when they didn't ask for one.
Adopted from the West after independence, but the Latvian version includes the tradition of Metenis (a pre-Christian spring festival) and the belief that birds choose their mates on this day. The birds are imaginary (it's still February in Latvia, and the birds are not choosing anything), but the tradition is charming.
