We’ll take you on a journey through the origins of the celebration, and give you some ideas and inspiration for the Day of Love. 💞
Where Does Valentine’s Day Come From? 💌
The story of Valentine’s Day goes back to ancient Rome. According to legend, the Christian priest Valentine of Terni secretly married couples in love, despite an imperial ban. As a sign of love, he gave them flowers from his garden. For that, he was executed on February 14.
In the Middle Ages, people in love wrote each other small messages, a tradition that has lasted to this day. Today, Valentine’s Day is a celebration for everyone who wants to celebrate love, whether romantic, family, or friendship.
Flowers and Chocolate: Valentine’s Day Classics 🌹
Flowers are the Valentine’s gift. Especially popular: red roses, the symbol of passion. But tulips, gerberas, or someone’s favorite flowers can bring a smile just as easily.
Chocolate, pralines, and handwritten cards are also classics. They show that it’s often the small gestures that make all the difference.
A quick look at Japan: traditionally, women give men chocolate. One month later, on “White Day,” the sweet favor is returned.
