VALENTINE’S DAY

Many countries celebrate Valentine’s Day on February 14th. This modern-day holiday is a celebration of love which gets its name from a Roman priest, Valentine, who secretly performed wedding ceremonies for Christian couples in the 3d century.

Weeks before the fourteenth of February, shop windows are decorated with red paper hearts, red streamers and boxes of chocolates. Heart-shaped cakes and sweets are baked and gifts such as perfume and jewellry are promoted by department stores. Men order red roses from florists, dinner reservations are made and presents are bought in preparation for Valentine’s Day. Even card and small gifts are made by young children at school.

On Valentine’s Day many people wear red, since it is considered to be the colour of love. Everybody wraps their gifts in shiny paper and scarlet ribbons and exchange them. Women receive bouquets of flowers and people express their feelings to their loved one’s. In the evening many couples chose to dine at romantic restaurants while others enjoy spending time together at home. It is the day to let people know how much you love and appreciate them.

Hundreds of years ago in England many children dressed up as adults on Valentine’s Day. They were singing from home to home. In Wales wooden love spoons were carved and given as gifts. Hearts, keys and keyholes were favourite decorations on the spoons. The decoration meant, “You unlocked my heart”.

In the Middle ages, young men and women drew names from a bowl to se who their valentines would be. They would wear these names on their sleeves for one week.

In Britain people spent £22 million on Valentine’s Day with traditionally romantic people buying 7 million red roses. In the more exclusive parts of central London a single red rose could cost a young lover up to £10!
