Everybody remembers back in the day if you had a crush on somebody or vice versa you’d receive the piece of notebook paper saying “Do you like me? Check, yes, no or, maybe” and when that date of Valentines comes around your constantly harassed with cheesy over decorated cards, chocolates and sweethearts candies. Question, does anyone know the true meaning behind Valentine’s Day?Valentine ’s Day is not just about cards, candy, and a baby in a diaper toting an arrow. It’s not exactly one of those Holidays that people can take off work; it’s more of a symbolic day that happens in the month of February. According to Nancy Rosin President of the National Valentine Collector’s Association, Valentines where the most personal ways of communication between people in the 1800s. Some were rejections and some were proposals. St. Valentine's Day, or as we know it today as Valentine’s Day, marks the legacy of both Christian and ancient Roman religious tradition. One legend often told is that Saint Valentine, himself, was said to be the first to actually send a 'valentine' greeting. While he was imprisoned, it is believed that Valentine fell in love with a young girl who could have been his jailer's daughter who had visited him during his confinement.
Here’s a little known fact, according to the Greeting Card association Valentine’s Day is the second largest card-sending holiday of the year. So think twice before you just pick a random card for that significant other, I could mean something so much more to them.
