Happy Valentine’s Day from AlertPay!

We’d like to wish a Happy Valentine’s Day to all of the members and followers of AlertPay. At AlertPay, we wish to commemorate the festival of love by bringing our members closer together.

Where Valentine's Day Comes From

Valentine’s Day has been celebrated since the time of the ancient Romans, when the festival of fertility was be held from February 13-18. The second day of the festival, February 14, was dedicated to Juno-Lupa, the She-Wolf, who was thought to have nursed Romulus and Remus, the founders of Rome. The Romans would celebrate a feast in honor of the She-Wolf in order to keep wild wolves from entering the city.


In Medieval France and England, people thought February 14 was the day when birds would start searching for their their mates. Lovers quickly took notice of this idea and began to celebrate the day by exchanging flowers and love notes. Ever since then, people have been exchanging gifts and notes to celebrate love and family.

Today, Valentine’s Day cards are being replaced by electronic valentines - last year, 15 million e-valentines were sent in the United States alone!
