Ammon News - AMMONNEWS— As many people reject the whole idea of celebrating Valentine's Day and consider the anniversary a useless and valueless event, others take the anniversary seriously and prepare intensively to express their love to their loved ones.
Viewpoints on the anniversary differ among people from all walks of life.
In the Ramtha district, 80 kilometres to the north of Amman, the celebration of the event was different this year as residents of Ramtha celebrated the event by painting a donkey red and placing it in the city centre for passers-by to see.
One of those who took part in painting the donkey was Ahmad Zu'bi, who said: "We painted the donkey with red to celebrate the event to how ridiculous it is as if there is only one day to express love throughout the year.
Tens of passers-by gathered around the donkey to take photos.
