Did you wake up and saw a rose in front of your door? Well, if you didn't I know how you feel. Haha. Valentine's day is day for love birds. It's time to show how much you love someone every single day of your life. Just that this on this special day of the year you show it with a small love gift. It could be a love letter, chocolate, flowers or just a simple but special kiss.
I was always asking myself how the regular day became so special and sweet. So I took a look of it's history.
While this pairing of couples set the tone for today's holiday, it wasn't called "Valentine's Day" until a priest named Valentine came along. Valentine, a romantic at heart, disobeyed Emperor Claudius II.'s decree that soldiers remain bachelors. Claudius handed down this decree believing that soldiers would be distracted and unable to concentrate on fighting if they were married or engaged. Valentine defied the emperor and secretly performed marriage ceremonies. As a result of his defiance, Valentine was put to death on February 14. And in honor to Valentine, the Valentine's day is a day for people to love each other. Little education for today. So have a nice day with people you love.
Vive l'amour!
