We all celebrate feb 14 as the love day ..also known as the Valentine day..A day you spend with your loved ones..but ever thought knowing the history of it..
In reality what happend on this day is.. St. Valentine, a Roman who was martyred for refusing to give up Christianity. He died on February 14, 269 A.D. St. Valentine left a farewell note for the jailer's daughter, who had become his friend, and signed it "From Your Valentine".
Since that day feb 14 became the date to exchange love messages,gifts,flowers ..etc
Valentine Day Traditions
In Wales wooden love spoons were carved and given as gifts on February 14th. Hearts, keys and keyholes were favourite decorations on the spoons. The decoration meant, "You unlock my heart!"
In the Middle Ages, young men and women drew names from a bowl to see who their valentines would be. They would wear these names on their sleeves for one week. To wear your heart on your sleeve now means that it is easy for other people to know how you are feeling.
In some countries, a young woman may receive a gift of clothing from a young man. If she keeps the gift, it means she will marry him.
Some people used to believe that if a woman saw a robin flying overhead on Valentine's Day, it meant she would marry a sailor. If she saw a sparrow, she would marry a poor man and be very happy. If she saw a goldfinch, she would marry a millionaire.
A love seat is a wide chair. It was first made to seat one woman and her wide dress. Later, the love seat or courting seat had two sections, often in an S-shape. In this way, a couple could sit together -- but not too closely!
Think of five or six names of boys or girls you might marry, As you twist the stem of an apple, recite the names until the stem comes off. You will marry the person whose name you were saying when the stem fell off.
Pick a dandelion that has gone to seed. Take a deep breath and blow the seeds into the wind. Count the seeds that remain on the stem. That is the number of children you will have.
If you cut an apple in half and count how many seeds are inside, you will also know how many children you will have.
Now after telling you all about the valetine day and the history and all..my question is"Is the day special for you or any other commercial holiday?"
"Any special gifts or plans you have for the day?"
