Adjust font size:

I would like to know, please, on which day Valentine's Day will fall (the 7th Day of the 7th Lunar month) because I am finding different dates everywhere I look.

Dear Reader:

 

Chinese Valentine's Day (or "Qi Qiao Jie ") falls on the seventh day of the seventh month of the lunar calendar (August according to the Gregorian calendar). It will fall on August 19th this year. As is the custom elsewhere in the world, this is a day devoted to romance.

 

In China, this day is also known as "The Begging Festival" or "The Daughter's Festival." It is an important day for girls. In the evening, girls prepare melons and fruit before worship and prayers for a good marriage.

 

On Chinese Valentine's Day, couples go to matchmaker temples to pray for everlasting love and marriage. Even single people will frequent the temple for luck in love.
