Valentine’s Day celebrations across the continents have varying intensity of gaiety and gala every year.  While in some locations it is a major event of festivity, in some locations it is observed with little celebration. While we have a look of the event across the continents, in North America, people of Canada and the United States celebrate the occasion with much enthusiasm. School and college students exchange Valentine cards and also they hold Valentine’s Day parties where they exchange sweets ad cards. For these celebrations, students make their own fancy boxes or envelopes to place the cards. Students also actively indulge with much enthusiasm in creating their own hand-made Valentine with red or white paper and other articles like heart-shaped paper doilies, etc. The creation of cards and Valentine is an activity most indulgently pursued by these students. Both children and adults offer flowers and candy to their spouses or dear ones. Youngsters may dance to celebrate the occasion.
In our appreciation of the Valentine’s Day celebrations across the continents, let’s next take Europe. When we come to Europe, in most of the European countries Valentine’s Day is celebrated with enthusiasm.  The American custom of gifting presents and roses to the beloved is followed in some European countries like Germany and Austria. In some countries pressed white flowers or candy called Snowdrops is offered to the beloved. In some territories like Denmark men send a joking letter called ‘Gaekkebrev’ to their beloved. It would contain a romantic verse and instead of signing the man would mark it with dots equal in number with the letters in his name. If the eve identifies the sender, she would receive an egg at Easter. People in England observe some other customs on the Valentine’s Day. Women would pin a bay leaf on each corner of their pillow and would eat eggs from which yolk would be removed and replaced with salt. It is their belief that such a practice would enable them to dream about their would-be husbands.  In another custom, women would write on each bit of paper the name of their lovers and that would be placed on clay and dropped in water. The name of the lover on the bit of paper that first surfaces will be their hubby would-be.
While we look at Valentine’s Day celebrations across the continents, let’s come to Asia. In China and some other territories, the day is not celebrated on the usual day of celebration in other countries, that is, February 14. As per the Chinese custom, the day falls on the 7th day of the 7th lunar month. A traditional custom is that when the star Vega appears in the sky, maidens place a needle on the surface of water. It marks the occasion of girls looking for their would-be husbands. The occasion accords many concessions for commercial purchases.
