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.
The day of love is celebrated in Qatar with flowers, chocolates, and romantic dinners. The Qatari Valentine's Day is a recent import, popular after the opening of the Pearl-Qatar and the revitalization of Souq Waqif. Young couples stroll the waterfront at the Pearl, and restaurants offer special iftar-style platters for two. The older generation often refrains, noting that love should be expressed daily, not annually.
