A few words about the Valentines Day

VLADIVOSTOK. February 9. VOSTOK-MEDIA - Frost still continue to be experienced in the Primorye in strength, but fear no longer. Especially the first dress rehearsal of spring appeared in time - Valentines Day or Valentines Day.

A Valentines Day from those clunky action becomes every year just brighter and more popular.

But the most curious, that on February 14 in Russia celebrated the Day of St. Trifon, a girl who prayed for the bride and a happy marriage. Sounds familiar? ..
