Saint Valentine Valentine (Bishop of Interamna, Terni in Italy) is celebrated on July 30. Notwithstanding, because of the relative obscurity of these two saints in the East and since there is no commemoration of St. Valentine in the Greek Orthodox Church, members of the Greek Orthodox Church named Valentinos (male) or Valentina (female) may observe their name day on the Western ecclesiastical calendar date of February 14. The name "Valentinus" does not occur in the earliest list of Roman martyrs, the Chronography of 354, although the patron of the Chronography's compilation was a wealthy Roman Christian named Valentinus. However, it is found

Today, men commemorate Woman’s Day by giving flowers or gifts to significant women in their lives (roughly equivalent to Valentine's Day in other countries). The holiday is now celebrated on February 18. Man's Day and Woman's Day (Iceland) Man’s Day and Woman’s Day are traditional celebration days in Iceland, which were traditionally determined according to the old Icelandic calendar.
