Love 101 Information On Valentine’s Day
Sunday, 30. January 2011 11:01
History suggests that there are two possible explanations why a day in February was chosen as a festival for lovers.
The first reference to the event was the Roman Feast of Lupercia, which took place in February. At the beginning of the celebration, the names of boys and girls of every village would be put into a large urn. Sets of names would then be drawn out and the couple would then be a pair throughout the celebration.
The second basis, which also perhaps describes the specific date of February 14th originates from medieval times when it was considered that this was the date birds started mating.
There are three possible actual St Valentines, but the most well-known belief is that he’s a Roman priest. When Emperor Claudius II outlawed marriage for young men, since he considered men were better soldiers if they were single, the priest, Valentine, continued to marry people in secret. He was at some point discovered and jailed where he fell in love with the jailer’s daughter prior to his execution. Apparently he created the first Valentine card to her promising his love and signed it ‘Your Valentine’, words still used on cards today.
Actually, giving a Valentine card is one of the biggest traditions related to Valentine’s Day and it positioned second only to Christmas in the number of greeting cards mailed.
There are a number of amusing traditions regarding finding the name of your future husband on Valentine’s Day. An example is running around your local church 12 times at midnight on the eve of February 14th. Hopefully, you’ll witness an apparition of the man in question. Another custom says that the first name of a man you read on Valentine’s Day will be the name of your future husband.
Giving flowers has grown to be associated with love and romance, specifically on Valentine’s Day. Below is a brief lesson on the language of flowers and the message you’ll express with a specific flower selection:
Camellia: You are perfect in every way
Red Carnation: My heart aches for you
Chrysanthemum (Red): I love you
Daffodils: You are the only one for me
Gloxinia: Love at first sight
Blue Hyacinths: Our love is steady
Red Rose: For/from a passionate lover
Sunflower: I adore you
Red Tulip: You are the best lover
