It
is true that many of the traditions surrounding Valentine’s Day and
similar holidays worldwide are directly linked to consumer industries
scheming up ways to build business. And it’s clear from the US spending

laughing matter when it comes to the flower and candy industries.
However, it’s interesting to see different ways this looks across the
globe, and to explore some of the deeper legend and history behind it.

and don’t get too caught up in the consumer hype surrounding holidays
like this. Check out this infographic to learn a little bit more about
just how complex the construction of Valentine’s Day really is.
