Valentine's Day Celebrated with Enthusiasm Across Nepal
Kathmandu. Today, February 14, is being celebrated with enthusiasm in Nepal as 'Valentine's Day,' the day for exchanging love and affection worldwide. In recent times, this day has evolved beyond being limited to a single day, developing into a festival established socially and culturally.
Popular especially among young men and women, the tradition of exchanging gifts such as flowers, cards, and chocolates, and expressing one's feelings is growing on this day. With the influence of social media, the style of celebrating Valentine's Day also appears to be becoming modern and attractive.
It is believed that the tradition of celebrating 'Valentine's Day' is connected to Saint Valentine of the third century.
