Curious to know how Russian girls celebrate Valentine’s Day? At Russian Girls Online, we are here to make sure you always know what’s going on!
In America, we just say Valentine’s Day. But in Russia, they call it St. Valentine’s Day. Why? It’s actually not as warm and fuzzy as you might think. Emperor Claudius II executed two men on February 14 in the 3rd century A.D. Surprisingly, both of their names were Valentine. Because of these two martyred Christian saints, we now name February 14 Valentine’s Day (or St. Valentine’s Day).
