Happy Valentine's Day, everyone!
That's right, it's Valentine's Day! The holiday originated as a feast day celebrating the martyr-turned saint named Valentine (Valentinus in Latin). Appropriately enough, one of his symbols was a rose, which is a reason why roses are prominent on this holiday.
it would evolve into a holiday celebrating romantic love in the 14th century thanks to Geoffrey Chauser and his circle of friends.
By the 18th century in England, it would evolve further into essentially the Valentine's Day we know today, with the offering of chocolates, flowers, and cards to loved ones that we know today. You can read here for more info on this day and its history.
Anyway, I hope you enjoy yourselves on this day! Spend some time with someone you love, where it'd be family, a significant other, friends, or even a pet or two! Have a great day!
May this day be a good one for you, full of joy and happiness!
