White Valentine's Day, (English: White Day; Japanese: ホワイトデー), is scheduled for March 14th. It is generally considered to be the continuation of Western Valentine's Day and originated in Rome in the third century AD. According to legend, the Roman emperor established Valentine's Day to commemorate his saving a pair of lovers who were about to be executed for violating the ban on love and marriage on February 14th. A month later, on March 14, the couple vowed to remain together until death, and it later became known as White Day and began to spread to other countries. It is generally believed that Japan was the first to accept and promote this holiday. Due to Japan's strong cultural soft power, Asian countries have followed suit, so this Valentine's Day, which has no accurate historical records, has become another "Valentine's Day" valued by young lovers.
White Valentine’s Day is popular in Japan, Taiwan, China and other regions, and the gift-giving is also different: specifically on February 14th, the man gives the woman a gift, mainly roses or chocolate (only in mainland China, Britain and the United States France), on March 14th, White Day, it is the woman’s turn to give the man a gift. (In Japan and Taiwan, it is just the opposite. On February 14th, girls give chocolates, and on March 14th, boys return gifts.) In Japan , usually the woman who wants to confess will give a gift to the person she likes on Valentine's Day (February 14th), and the person who receives the gift will return the gift on March 14th and tell the woman his feelings. Young people in some parts of Asia also celebrate this holiday.
Also called Valentine's Day, it means that if you receive a gift on Valentine's Day, you will return the gift one month later on March 14. Of course, it is only to give back to the person you want to return.

Means, the festival was first called "Candy Giving Day" (キャンデーをGiving Day). Since 1980, it has been called "White Day" because the sugar used in the candies is white.

The point is that such festivals allow both men and women who are in love with each other a chance to express their feelings. Related Businessmen, of course, are happy to make huge profits. According to the Japan National Confectionery Industry Cooperative Association, the reason why "White Day" is set on March 14 is because in the third century AD, Emperor Claudius II of the Roman Empire announced in the capital Rome that he would abandon all marriage commitments and ordered Men all over the country were required to join the army. A priest named Sanctus Valentinus did not follow this will and continued to hold weddings for men and women in love.
