Valentine’s Day is most commonly used to express love and affection for a special someone with the exchange of greeting cards, floral arrangements and gifts such as jewelry and clothing. Making a romantic proposal to a significant other is another popular tradition on this holiday. This is often achieved by going on a date to somewhere romantic with someone in your life that you care deeply about. This custom originated from the popular belief that birds chose their partners every year on February the 14th.

For this reason, Valentines Day has been coined “the Birds’ Wedding Day” and is now celebrated as a time for those in love. Valentine’s Day was originally associated with romantic couples only, however in recent times this holiday has been seen in a much larger range of relationships. Now, people will take this opportunity to wish ‘Happy Valentine’s Day’ to anyone they love (fathers, mothers, teachers, siblings, friends, or co-workers.) The idea behind this tradition is to spread love to everyone in our lives. This Valentine’s Day surprise someone you care about with a night out on the town or with a gift such as chocolates, clothing, or jewelry.

Origin of Valentine’s Day

Valentine’s Day celebrates the love and affection between intimate companions and is one of the biggest holidays for sending flowers. In ancient Rome, February 14th was a holiday used to honor Juno, the Queen of the Roman Gods and Goddesses. The Romans also knew her as the Goddess of women and marriage. Roses are among the best Valentine’s Day gifts to give to your loved one on this momentous occasion as they are personified as the flower of love and stand for eternal devotion, passion, courage and respect.

The roots of Valentine’s Day go back to ancient times, when people honored the Roman God of Fertility. This was known as the Feast of Lupercalia, and was celebrated on February the 14th. In those days, the lives of young boys and girls were strictly separate. On the eve of the Festival of Lupercalia, the names of Roman girls were written on slips of paper and placed into jars. Each young man would draw a girl’s name from the jar and would then be partners with the girl whom he chose for the remainder of the festival. Sometimes the pairing of the children lasted an entire year, and many times the pairing would end in marriage.
