Valentine’s Day
Once a year we have such a wonderful holiday as a Valentine's Day. People celebrate it on 14th of February all over the world, but this holiday especially popular in Europe. The history of that day started in ancient Rome, during the celebration of Lupercalia - the festival of eroticism.
But during the time, this madness was canceled - because of the explicit context of the holiday. But Lupercalia was replaced by Saint Valentine, who was secretly crowning lovers at the era of marriage prohibition. And February 14th is the day when the good-hearted priest was executed. Gradually this day became cluttered with many legends, stories and legends, but its essence is one - love each other!
In the second half of the 19th century in Britain began to use very popular valentines - wonderful declaration of love, which people use for express their feelings.
In Russia, Valentine's Day has become increasingly popular because it's nice to please beloved with the attention and care! People choose gifts, cook romantic dinner and spend time with their halves. In an era of endless stress, fatigue and anxiety is important not to forget about sincerity, feelings and love. Therefore, February 14 is very popular in Russia and in other countries.
