Every February 14 in the United States we engage in well-loved Valentine’s Day traditions: exchanging cards, eating chocolates, giving flowers and, of course, sending candy-grams!it is a day out of the year to take time from your busy schedule to spend time with the one you love. Celebrations on Valentine's Day can vary in size and scope, but at their root they are a chance to tell the one you love how much you treasure having them in your life and to celebrate shared experiences.
But does anyone know Valentines's day History and Significance?
History Of Valentine's Day
Valentine's Day is named for the Christian martyr Saint Valentine. In the Catholic faith until the late 1960s, Valentine's Day was actually a celebration that was eleven days long. In the fourteenth century, writer Geoffrey Chaucer is said to have written the first poem that associated the holiday with a celebration of love. His poem writes of "love birds" Richard II of England and Anne of Bohemia.
Significance Of Valentine's Day
Valentine's Day, while originally noted as a Catholic celebration, has achieved significance with many people regardless of faith. Some people are divided on this day as well. Some may see it as simply a ploy by the greeting card and candy companies to boost their own profits on this day. Some also find the day to be a time to make up for past indiscretions or lapses in appreciation over the rest of the year. Still some see it as a time to mourn the fact that they do not have someone to celebrate the day with.
For valentine's day gift to your the love one as soon as possible.
