Valentine's Day Is Also Called The Feast Of Saint Valentine.
On February 14, Saint Valentine was imprisoned for performing weddings for soldiers who were forbidden to marry. He also restored sight to the blind daughter of his judge, and he wrote her a letter signed "Your Valentine," as a farewell before his execution.
Valentine's Day Traditions:
Some of the symbols include the heart-shaped items, dove and the figure of the winged Cupid.
Valentine's Day is celebrated every February 14 as couples across the globe honor their spouses, partners, and sweethearts.
But in some countries, there are days of expressing love that are not called Valentine's Day and are held on different days of the year. We will take a look at a couple of these celebrations also!
First Let's Hop On A Plane And Head For Argentina
Argentinians don't celebrate Valentine's Day in February, but they celebrate "The Week Of Sweetness," in July. Lovers exchange kisses and receive chocolates and other sweets.
Next, We Will Hop Back On The Plane And Head For England!
On the eve of Valentine's Day, women in England used to place five bay leaves on their pillows to bring dreams of their future husbands.
Jack Valentine acts as a Santa of sorts for Valentine's Day. Children wait for him to knock on their doors. He leaves them gifts on their porches.
Next, We Are Going To Fly To Spain!
In Spain, they do not celebrate Valentine's Day on February 14, but their "Day Of Love," is on October 9! This is known as the feast of St. Dionysus. The men make a marzipan figurine for the special lady in their lives. There are also parades on the streets of the villages of Spain.
France Is Next On Our List!
Paris is considered one of the most romantic cities in the World. The yards, trees, and homes are decorated for Valentine's Day! There are marriage proposals everywhere.
The Next Country We Will Visit Today Is Italy!
Sometimes young, unmarried girls wake up before dawn to spot their future husbands. They believe the first man a woman sees on Valentine's Day is the man she is to marry! Italians celebrate Valentine's Day with romantic dinners and exchanging gifts. Baci Perugina is one of the favorite gifts to give. It is small chocolate-covered hazelnuts wrapped with a romantic quote in four languages.
Denmark Is In Northern Europe, Let's Head There Next!
They have celebrated Valentine's Day since 1990 there. They give white flowers called "snowdrops," instead of roses to their friends or lovers. Danish men sometimes give a "gaekkebrev," or a joke card to the woman in their life. They sign the card with dots, each dot representing a letter in their name. The woman has to guess who gave her the card.
The Czech Republic Is Our Next Country To Visit!
They celebrate their "Valentine's Day" Festival on May 1. Young couples go on a pilgrimage to the statue of the poet Karol Hynek Macha and kiss under the cherry trees.
Bulgaria Celebrates Valentine's Day In An Interesting Way!
They call it San Trifon Zartan on February 14. It means "day of winemakers." Young and old couples celebrate their love with a glass of wonderful local wine.
Let's Fly To Aisa And Visit Japan!
It is all about chocolate in Japan. The women give out Giri-choco to friends, bosses, and family. The women give Honmei-choco to the boyfriend, husband or lover in their life. Men do not return gifts until March 14 which is called White Day. The gift given to the woman must cost three times the price of the gift the women gave to them.
We Are In Asia So South Korea Is Next.
Like In Japan, they celebrate the same way with Valentine's Day - the women giving the gifts and March 14 - or White Day, the men returning the favor with more expensive presents. But the single people mourn their single status by eating dark bowls of jajangmyeon or black bean-bean paste noodles on April 14. Also "The Day Of Roses," is celebrated on May 14, "The Day Of Kisses," on June 14 and "The Day Of Hugs," On December 14!
Our Last Stop This Year Is The Philippines
Like Western countries Valentine's Day is celebrated about the same way, except hundreds or even thousands of Filipino couples gather together in a mall or another large place to say, "I do," during a public ceremony or to renew their vows. The government officials may lead the mass weddings. The ceremonies are free and include flowers, a wedding cake and sometimes even wedding rings.
Happy Valentine's Day Or Whatever Day Of Love You May Celebrate Around The World!
