Happy Chinese Valentine's Day 2013

Now here's an interactive app doodle made by Google to celebrate a Chinese festival called Qixi Festival.

The origins of this celebration, which falls on the seventh day of the 7th lunar month, is from a mythical folktale about two lovers, the cowherd and weaver girl, whose love was not meant to be and were banished to opposite sides of the Universe only to meet once a year via a bridge formed by a flock of magpies.
