The history of such a good and cheerful holiday goes back centuries, back to pagan times. Traditionally, on this day, couples in love congratulate each other, give gifts, and write valentines. Every country in the world has its own rules and customs of celebration. So in Russia, Valentine's Day has a wide scope.

The holiday is associated with the “quirkialon” movement that originated in the United States, the founder of which was the writer Sasha Keigen. Her philosophy is based on the assertion that happiness is possible for every person, regardless of whether he or she has a partner. Keigen followers call themselves completely self-sufficient people and do not consider relationships a guarantee of happiness.

“Music heals the soul” - this is the phrase that Italian masters of the Middle Ages placed on many musical instruments. Music therapy or sound treatment is one of the modern healing techniques. She even has her own world holiday, which is celebrated annually on February 14th.

The holiday is celebrated by everyone who has at least some connection to working with computer devices. On this day you can congratulate programmers, specialists testing and monitoring software, system administrators, and database maintenance workers.

During Distign, the turning point is celebrated when winter loses its strength and the gradual arrival of warmth begins. On this day, the sun conquers winter frost and darkness, symbolically awakening the vital forces that have been dormant throughout the winter.

Think about it: in every home there are books that have already been read. Think how much joy they can bring to people for whom there is no opportunity to purchase this item: children in orphanages will be delighted with children's books, people who do not have sufficient income to purchase a book will be delighted by the opportunity to read it, and the best time to do this is on February 14th International Book Giving Day.

On February 14, it is customary to meet and congratulate each other not only on Valentine’s Day, but also to arrange information at a table in the library. The counterpart in this case is not a person dear to the heart, but a book. February 14th is Library Valentine's Day.

The holiday received its name partly from the Orthodox date of veneration of Saint Tryphon, who became a martyr for his faith in Jesus Christ in the 3rd century. Tryphon was the patron saint of family and spouses, so unmarried girls prayed to him for a quick marriage. The owners cajoled the cats in response to Tryphon the Mouse Racer: they treated them with milk and treated them with kind words. Weather signs for this day: noticing fog in the evening, residents expected warmer weather the next morning, and a clear frosty night foreshadowed a late spring.
