8. Chinese Valentine’s Day
Aug. 13
“Traditionally known as “The Double Seventh Festival” (since it falls on the seventh day of the seventh lunar month), Chinese Valentine’s Day is based on a tale of a weaver girl and a cowherd who got married without permission. Infuriated, the girl’s mother (the Goddess of Heaven, no less), created a wide river in the sky—the Milky Way—to divide them. Today, modern-day couples exchange flowers over a symbolic river to affirm that nothing can keep them apart.” Spread the love!
