Valentines Day 14th February
This is an annual celebration of love and romance. It is a time to let your loved ones know how much they mean to you. It’s not always necessary to buy expensive gifts or cards, homemade expresses just as much sentiment.
However, Cadbury’s began to put chocolates in a heart shaped box in 1868 with the oldest known English Valentine’s message being written all the way back in 1477.
Valentines Day takes it name from the patron saint of love St Valentine. There are lots of stories and legends about St Valentine. The most popular theory is that he was a priest who illegally married soldiers in the 3rd Century AD. He was thrown into jail and fell in love with his jailor’s daughter. On the day of his execution he sent her a message that said “from your Valentine”.
Happy Valentines Day.
