We do not say that Day of Love, but it is
Casa Batlló or Batlló House is an Antoni Gaudí architect building
ENGLISH:
The day consist of an exchange of gifts between sweethearts, loved ones and colleagues. Historically, men gave women roses, and women gave men a book to celebrate the occasion – "a rose for love and a book forever." In modern times, the mutual exchange of books is also customary. Roses have been associated with this day since medieval times, but the giving of books is a more recent tradition originating in 1923, when a bookseller started to promote the holiday as a way to commemorate the nearly simultaneous deaths of Miguel Cervantes and William Shakespeare on 23 April 1616. (Wikipedia)
The message is that a link between love and reading is good for all
book = freedom (visual poet: Joan Brossa)
