In Photos: Valentine’s Day Traditions Around The World

Wales

Although the Welsh aren’t celebrating Saint Valentine, they have their own ‘Valentine’s Day’ called Saint Dwynwen, on January 25th.
What makes this love holiday truly unique is that the main traditional gift to be offered is a spoon. During the 17th century, Welsh men were spending hours to craft unique wooden spoons in order to show their affection for their lovers. Today, spoons are also exchanged at Welsh weddings, births or anniversaries.
