1. Slovenia- where it is the day to resume work in the fields
St. Valentine is one of the saints of spring in Slovenia, and it is said that
plants and flowers start to grow on this day. Often, it is the first day of the
year when work starts on vineyards and in the fields. According to tradition, St
Valentine comes on February 14th to bring keys to all the roots, meaning that
nature begins to awaken. It is also a strongly held tradition that the birds of
the fields propose to their loved ones on this day and marry. The annual day of
love celebrated in Slovenia actually falls on March 12, Saint Gregory's Day.
