Dia del Amor y la Amistad

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 Basotho celebrate love with their own traditions. Young men compose lithoko (praise poems) for the women they admire, and the women respond with lifela (songs of praise). The Basotho blanket becomes a gift of love: a man will give his beloved a Seanamarena blanket, the finest quality blanket with the most intricate patterns. The Seanamarena pattern, featuring the iconic corn cob design, signifies fertility and prosperity, and it is the most prized blanket a woman can receive.
