Tomorrow (Wednesday, February 14) is Valentine’s Day, which is celebrated in many countries worldwide. The origins of Valentine’s Day are not clear, but many sources believe that it stems from the story of St Valentine, a Roman priest who was martyred on or around February 14 in the year 270 CE. Valentine’s Day has become increasingly popular in Australia over the years, particularly during the late 20th century, and it continues to be observed among many Australians today.
