El Día de San Valentín, comúnmente conocida como El Festín de San Valentín, se observa el 14 de febrero de cada año. Aunque se celebra en muchos países, permanece un día de trabajo en la mayoría de ellos.

Saint Valentine's Day, commonly known as the Feast of Saint Valentine, is observed on February 14 each year. Although it is celebrated in many countries, it remains a working day in most of them.


To practice your Spanish include at least one sentence about this world-wide holiday. You may use a photo, a card, flowers, poetry, or your own imagination. Please remember our site is a family-friendly one. Have fun!

I will do my best to share corrections, but I, too, am learning Spanish. Those of you who have the time and desire to share your Spanish knowledge and suggestions are appreciated.

In the Middle Ages, young men and women drew names from a bowl to see who would be their Valentine. They would wear this name pinned onto their sleeves for one week for everyone to see. This was the origin of the expression "to wear your heart on your sleeve."

En la Edad Media, los jóvenes, hombres y mujeres señala a nombres en un recipiente, para ver quién sería su Valentine. Que llevaran este nombre enchavetada en la manga durante una semana para que las vea todo el mundo. Este fue el origen de la expresión "con el corazón en la mano. ".
