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.
Observed by younger Syrians with the exchange of flowers, chocolates, and cards. In Damascus, the flower shops on Al-Rawi Street do a brisk trade in red roses, and the cafes of the Old City fill with couples. The day is a relatively modern import, but Syrians : famous for their warmth and hospitality : have embraced it.
