    It’s that time of the year when couples show their love for each other by sending cards, flowers and chocolates.
    But Valentine’s Day is not only about public displays of affection: in recent years it has also become big business.
    In the UK alone, more than GBP20 million is spent on flowers, whilst in the United States over $1 billion is forked
    out on chocolates.
    Although Valentine’s Day has become a global industry with more than 80 million roses sold worldwide, the origins of the
    day are unclear and hidden in the mists of time. Nobody knows exactly who St Valentine was, although some historians suggest
    he was a Roman martyred in the third century AD by a Roman Emperor. It is said that the first recorded Valentine’s card was
    sent by the imprisoned Duke of Orleans in 1415. It is believed that he sought solace from his confinement by writing love
    poems to his wife.
    Valentine’s Day, or its equivalent, is now celebrated in many countries around the world. However, the traditions often differ
    from place to place. In Japan, for example, it is customary for the woman to send chocolates to the man, whilst in Korea April
    14th is known as ‘Black Day’ and is when the unfortunate men who received nothing on Valentine’s Day gather to eat noodles and
    commiserate with each other.
    Technological developments have also played their part in keeping Valentine’s Day relevant in the 21st century. Valentine’s e-cards
    have been all the rage in recent years. However, internet security experts urge web users to be wary as malicious hackers could use
    e-cards to spread viruses and spyware.
    Valentine’s cards can also be used for less than romantic purposes. Police in the UK city of Liverpool sent Valentine’s cards to criminals
    who failed to appear in court or have not paid fines. The cards contained the verse, “Roses are red, violets are blue, you’ve got a warrant,
    and we’d love to see you.” Who says romance is dead?
