February U.S. Holidays
February 2nd : Groundhog Day🤎
Why is Groundhog Day important?
Groundhog day is celebrated in the U.S and Canada. On February 2nd, if a Groundhog comes out of its hole and sees its shadow, it will go back into the hole and winter will go on for six more weeks.🕳 If the Groundhog does not see its shadow, then spring will come early.
The Groundhog will predict the weather. (These predictions are not always right. 笑)
February 14th : Valentine's Day❤️🌹
Short History📰
This holiday is also known as Saint Valentine's Day. It is celebrated in many countries around the world. It wasn't associated with romantic love until the Medieval Period. It is believed that the origin of Valentine's Day started in the Roman Empire under the ruling of Emperor Claudius II. During that time, marriage was banned. It is said that Saint Bishop Valentine would perform secret weddings for soldiers, so they could marry their loved ones.
