February 14 is Valentine's Day or Saint Valentine's Feast. The day of love owes its origins to ancient Roman and European Christian traditions.

Valentine's Day in Georgia (Country)

History & Traditions: Valentine's Day in Georgia is relatively new compared to Western countries, as it has been celebrated only since the country’s move towards greater Western integration post-independence from the Soviet Union. Despite its recent adoption, February 14th has become popular among younger generations and those who embrace Western customs. The day is marked by typical Valentine's traditions such as:

  • Exchange of Gifts: Couples exchange gifts like flowers, chocolates, and other romantic presents.
  • Romantic Dinners: Many couples celebrate with a special meal at restaurants or a home-cooked dinner.
  • Valentine's Cards: The giving of cards expressing love and affection is a common practice.

Modern Developments: While Valentine's Day continues to be celebrated, there has been a push by some within Georgia to promote a traditional Georgian day of love called "Svetitskhovloba" or St. George’s Day, which occurs on November 23rd.

Cultural Adaptation: Georgians have blended the globalized concept of Valentine's Day with their own cultural nuances. The emphasis on romance and love aligns with Georgian values that hold strong ties to family and relationships.

Activities: In addition to personal celebrations among couples:

  • Events: Various events such as concerts, parties, and themed activities are organized throughout cities like Tbilisi.
  • Special Offers: Businesses capitalize on the day with special offers for couples including spa packages, hotel stays, or romantic tours.

Valentine's Day in Georgia showcases how global traditions can intertwine with local culture resulting in unique regional observances of this international day of love.
