Valentine's Day is the commemoration in the Catholic Church of either one, two or several saints named Valentine. The church believed he was worthy of commemorating (although there is no apparent reason, strictly religiously speaking - there was no record of any Valentine being martyred or doing miracles before the day was instated) and so he/they is/are celebrated.

Valentine's Day has become associated with love and has become a day to show a significant other that you care. This would be a reason that Valentine's Day is continuously celebrated.

Because on the 14th of February in about 270AD a christian Pope was sentenced to death. He was in a pagan kingdom that was under the rule of Claudius II, who had it as illegal to help Christian's. St Valentines day is to tribute his efforts and sacrifice by celebrating love.
