The New Yorker covers: February 10, 1951

Valentine's Day (aka, Saint Valentine's Day) is both a secular holiday and, in its religious context, a holy day as well. Celebrated on February 14, it originated as “a Christian feast day honoring a martyr named Valentine,” according to Wikipedia. It later became a celebration of  love, which is how many of us know it today.
