Valentine

The Catholic community in Mytilene on the island of Lesvos commemorated Saint Valentine in the "Frankoklisia" - the Catholic Church of the Dormition of the Virgin in the central market of the city.

What are believed to be the relics of St Valentine, patron saint of lovers around the world, have been kept in the Catholic church in Mytilene since 1908.

Saint Valentine's Day may now be celebrated worldwide but traditions are often very different and sometimes have nothing at all to do with romance.

While in Europe it's all about couples cozying up, in the United States it is as much about schoolchildren celebrating friendship while in Japan women give chocolates to their bosses.

Today, the world marks the Day of Love.

Google also immerses us in a festive atmosphere by changing the logo of its interactive animation homepage - a pair of adorable aliens who exchange messages and show us that love is "out of this world."

This has become a tradition of the tech giant - marking important dates and anniversaries with the so-called Doodle.
