  Valentine \Val"en*tine\, n.
     1. A sweetheart chosen on St. Valentine's Day.
        [1913 Webster]
  
     2. A letter containing professions of love, or a missive of a
        sentimental, comic, or burlesque character, sent on St.


        Valentine's Day.
        [1913 Webster]
  
     {St. Valentine's Day}, a day sacred to St. Valentine; the
        14th of February. It was a very old notion, alluded to by
        Shakespeare, that on this day birds begin to mate. Hence,
        perhaps, arose the custom of sending love tokens at that
        time.
        [1913 Webster]
