It's a bit interesting to learn about the more recent traditions of humans. To think that Saint Valentine is associated with romantic love is a bit... peculiar to me considering his history, but I suppose I can see how it may have evolved.
Regardless, the people of Wallachia would celebrate Dragobete on February 24th. There's obviously less interest within the vampire community, but I am aware of its traditions and it appears to be similar to your Valentine's Day for its purposes. Dragobete was the son of Baba Dochia, who herself is essentially the personification of the end of a difficult winter and the start of spring, which in itself is often associated with fertility. Due to this, the day is also known as "the day when the birds are betrothed." Dragobete himself is a character of immense kindness and was chosen as the Guardian of Love.
I suppose in perspective, this will be my first time celebrating either. I would also like to ask if your culture has their own way to celebrate love, or fertility as it can be seen as.
My other question: I would like to know if there is anyone ordained here. I am looking for holy water to be made.

The two goddesses are lovers, however, and their holy days tend to fall within each other, during the early spring, so most people tend to just combine the two.
And before you ask, the White Rabbit usually just takes the form of a humanoid with rabbit ears and a tail, although she's been said to become a rabbit when the need to disguise herself arises. They're both gods anyway, so I suppose it doesn't really matter.
