2025Greetings Stamp - Sheetlets

The global celebration of romantic love known as Valentine’s Day has been observed in Slovenia since the end of the twentieth century. Before that, the Feast of St Valentine was above all a celebration of early spring and one of the dates in the calendar associated with the mating seasons of birds and the reawakening of nature after the winter. The latter is referred to in the old saying “Valentine brings the keys to unlock the roots”.
