The date 14 February is widely known as the day of lovers baptized differently by St. Valentine's Day.
Although love must be timeless, gifted and taken on every day of the year, this day is a good omen to make the heart beat like the first time. Flowers, expensive jewels, or a romantic dinner are not the main symbolism of this holiday. Living recognizes you with the most bizarre Valentine's traditions in the world.
Malaysia
Malaysia does not celebrate couples, but singles. They write phone numbers or social network addresses in orange and throw them into the river, hoping that the person they will find will contact them, why not even their heart man.
Germany
It sounds odd, but the Valentine's symbol in Germany is a wild boar. This animal is a symbol of destiny, because in the past anyone who had a wild boar at home had wealth and love. Unable to have wild pigs, Germans embellish other pigs and keep them at home.
Latvia
St. Valentine began to be celebrated in Latvia only after the fall of the Soviet Union. The Latvians cling to the partner's outfits and travel around the city. Pleasures or not?
Philippine
For the inhabitants of the Philippine Islands, St. Valentine is also known as the Lord of the Marriages. There have been many years of mass marriage celebrated in this day.
Ghana
In remote Ghana, chocolate is the sweetest symbol of love. It does not matter if it is white, black, with or without almonds, couples should only eat chocolate on February 14th.
Slovenia
Slovenian couples have a very interesting way to celebrate the day of the lovers. They are walking barefoot on newly-planted fields with the hope that they will soon be blessed with children. This tradition also serves to bless the earth to be as fertile as possible.
South Korea
Men do most of the gift-giving on Valentine's Day in the United States, but the opposite is true in South Korea, where women give chocolate to the men in their lives. A month later, on White Day, men return the favor by giving candy. But that’s not the end of it—single friends sometimes get together on Black Day on April 14 to eat black noodles.
Finland and Estonia
Single people don’t need to feel lonely in Finland and Estonia, where Valentine’s Day is known called “Friend’s Day.” Cards and gifts express that a person values the friendship, but romantic love has a place too. In Estonia, riding a “love bus” gives single people a chance to find romance.

Japan
Women give the chocolate on Valentine’s Day in Japan too. There are a few more nuances though. Coworkers and classmates expect “obligation chocolate” (giri choco), but women save “true feeling” chocolate (honmei choco), which is more expensive and often homemade, for their sweethearts. Not that the women miss out on the goodies. If they don’t want to wait a month for the men to reciprocate on White Day, they’ll treat themselves to jibun choco on February 14.
Italy
Unlike the United States, where classmates and families exchange cards, Italy celebrates Valentine’s Day as a lovers-only holiday. Baci Perugina chocolates, which have a romantic message written inside the foil, make for a popular gift. “‘Baci’ means ‘kiss’ in Italian,”. “When they exchange the Baci Perugina—a little box of those small hazelnut chocolates—they’re exchanging kisses.”
France
As the city of love, Paris is a popular destination for couples on Valentine’s Day. “Some people think it is the world’s capitol for Valentine’s Day,”. Couples used to attach a padlock on the Pont des Arts "love lock bridge" and throw the key in the River Seine. The locks were removed in 2015, with the bridge railings replaced with ones hard to attach a lock to, but lovers still attach locks to other bridges around Paris. But Paris isn't the only French destination for romance. The village of St. Valentin gets decked out in flowers every year for its Valentine’s Day festival, she says. Activities of the day include weddings, vow renewals, and planting trees to commemorate love. French couples also exchange beautiful love notes called cartes d’amities
Mexico
February 14 isn’t just for couples in Mexico, where it is known as the Day of Love and Friendship. Balloons, flowers, stuffed animals, and cards show appreciation for romantic interests and platonic friends alike.

China
Valentine’s Day is getting more popular in China, but the Qixi Festival is often called “Chinese Valentine’s Day.” Celebrated on the seventh day of the seventh lunar month in the Chinese calendar—which usually falls August—women traditionally prayed to find good husbands or gain great sewing skills. Now, though, it’s more similar to Western Valentine’s Day.
Czech Republic
Valentine’s Day usually involves the typical romantic dinners, and gifts of roses and chocolates in the Czech Republic. But the country’s main Day of Love is on May 1, when lovers kiss under cherry trees for happiness and good health
Brazil
Instead of celebrating St. Valentine, Brazilians honor St. Anthony, the patron saint of marriage and matchmaking, on June 12. The night before, single women will write men’s names on pieces of paper then fold them up. In the morning, they pick a slip to reveal their future husbands.
