Ystävänpäivä, Saint Valentin, Valentine's Day or Valentinstag - we all know this day. As you can see is the Finnish "Valentine's Day" something very special (just have a look at the totally different spelling than in other languages). And the way Finns celebrate it is really different from the Valentine's Day in other countries.
In Finland it's not the day of couples and lovers - it's the day of friendship. So, on the 14th of February it's the day Finns say thank you to their best friends. In my opinion, it's a very lovely tradition. I like it and I haven't seen it in other countries as well.
On the other side, I also love to celebrate Valentine's day in the Swiss way. It doesn't have to be on the 14th of February but I think it's also important to pay regard to a relationship and celebrate it.
