Did you know that Valentine’s Day, as a celebration of love, came to life around the 14th century? Although its origins go way back to many centuries earlier. To this day, it is not clear which St Valentine inspired Valentine’s day as there were at least two. There is a belief that Valentine’s Day may have originated in a pagan fertility festival named Lupercalia. Formal valentines messages appeared in the 15th century but it was not until the late 18th century that commercially printed cards came into existence. Today, traditional gifts include chocolates, red roses (a symbol of beauty and love), heart shaped balloons, jewellery, teddy bears and cards – all expressions of love, romance and commitment. Engagements and mass weddings are also popular on this day. Valentine’s Day is celebrated in many ways around the world. For example, in Japan, custom dictates that only women give Valentine’s chocolates to men. Then one month later, it is the man’s turn to gift the woman in his life!
