Welcome to the Prettiest Valentine's Day Ever!

February 14, is widely regarded throughout the world as the celebration of Love and lovers send cards and give flowers (preferably red roses; which represent passion) to their beloved one.

We know almost nothing about Valentine's Day origins: people generally think that its source lies in Lupercalia who are Roman annual celebrations in honor of Lupercus, fields and herds protector (celebrations of fertility and fertility), that happened around mid-February.

It is also commonly said that Charles of Orleans sent love letters on February 14th to Mary of Cleves at the time he was prisoner in England.

Another belief is that on February 14th birds begin to mate at the approach of the spring.

One of the simplest, and most popular, Valentine's Day gifts is a greetings card and that card, you can send it to your beloved ones as well as to your friends or parents.

In the Middle Ages, love was had not the same meaning than today: Eleanor of Aquitaine, Queen of France and England by the anger of God will confirm it. She maintained a Court of Love with strict laws and love meant much more than we think: a lover was a squire of dames, love was pure and non-physical, we could not act inappropriately. A squire of dames was a friend and the court was dedication.

That is the reason why Valentine's Day is one of the most special days of the year for many people as it isn't a day reserved for lovers to celebrate their love for each other any more.

Not having a significant other on Valentine's Day doesn't mean you can't celebrate Valentine's Day and you might be spending Valentine's Day with a friend instead of a boyfriend or girlfriend.
