Valentine's Day is an Iranian holiday

Look at the History:

Valerian had been engaged in wars with Shapur I, the Sassanid king of Persia (reigned 241-72), by whom he was taken prisoner in 260 and put to death.

Saint Valentine’s Day, a holiday honoring lovers. It is celebrated February 14 by the custom of sending greeting cards or gifts to express affection. The cards, known as valentines, are often designed with hearts to symbolize love. The holiday probably derives from the ancient Roman feast of Lupercalis (February 15). The festival gradually became associated with the feast day (February 14) of two Roman martyrs, both named St. Valentine, who lived in the 3rd century. St. Valentine has traditionally been regarded as the patron saint of lovers.

Iranians gained Valentines Day with the conquest of ancient Rome.  St.  Valentine's Day is an Ancient Iranian/Persian Holiday.  After Islam was accepted by the Iranian masses St. Valentine's Day took on a religious feeling.  Some call it "Imamzadeh Haji Feerooz Day".

After the Great Iranian Revolution and the overthrow of the barbaric Pahlavi dynasty once again Iranians were free to celebrate St. Valentine's Day.

The Pahlavi Dynasty hated St. Valentine's Day because no one liked them.

It is an honor to see Iranians holding hands in Love. 

God bless their love for humanity.  And God Bless America.

Pas chichi migan digeh?

Valentines day che daran. Boyfriend daran. Dokhtar/Pesar baazi daran. Sex ghabl as ezdevaj daran. Pas chera enghat eerad migiran as IRI? And don't give me that unemployment/economy crap either. If you could see how many Iranians abroad are lazy ass bums who can't be bothered getting a job and avoid work at all costs! If girls can walk around in mini-skirts would everything be cool, you think? (ala shah days)? Or would they still keep WHINING??

فراموش نکنید، در ایران آزادی تدخین تریاک و سکس از همه جای دنیا بیشتر است.
