Did Saint Valentine – Patron of Lovers – Send the First Valentine’s Day Gift?



Valentine’s Day, celebrated on February 14, is a wonderful opportunity to celebrate those we love – to reach out to the one we love – to make it a festival of romance and affection. While some people may think, Valentine’s Day is just another commercial holiday for flower and candy shops, Valentine’s Day has deeper roots and does reach in the silent recesses of a human heart.

It all started in the heart of St. Valentine. Valentine lived around 270, in the midst of the bloody persecution of the Christians. He was martyred by Emperor Claudius II in ancient Rome. Saint Valentine died as a Roman martyr priest. The saga has it that the first “Valentine’s Day” gift was actually sent by the Saint himself to the daughter of his jailer, to whom he felt a deep bond of love.

Valentine’s Day, as we know it today, contains vestiges of both Christian and ancient Roman tradition. The 14th of February is probably a remnant from a period when a pagan festival occurred around that date. It was a day of joyful celebration, embracing the beginning work in the vineyards and on the fields after the long winter months. Valentine’s Day as a day of celebrating love also stems from the belief that this is the day when birds begin their mating.

The Christian church adapted this tradition and chose February 14 as the day to honor Saint Valentine. Saint Valentine is now considered the patron of lovers and the helper of those unhappily in love.

Valentine’s Day in the middle of the eighteenth century is summed up in this verse printed in Poor Robin’s Almanac in 1757:

“This month bright Phoebus enters Pisces, The maids will have good store of kisses, For always when the fun comes there, Valentine’s Day is drawing near, And both the men and maids incline To chuse them each a Valentine; And if a man gets one he loves, He gives her first a pair of gloves; And, by the way, remember this, To seal the favour with a kiss.”

Although no longer a day of honor for Saint Valentine in the Christian calendar – Valentine was dropped from the liturgical calendar in 1969 – Valentine’s Day still inspires lovers to the present day to give kind acts of love to one another.
There are several ways to show ones love and appreciation on Valentine’s Day:

Valentine’s Day Cards are a popular way to show affection. There are Valentine’s Day cards with wise or witty rhymes, open or supple declaration of love, beautiful flower arrangements or cuddly teddy bears. There is something of every taste.

Valentine’s Day Recipes are often special concoctions made with love and creativity to help celebrate Valentine’s Day. After all, doesn’t love go through the stomach! Aromatic taste, lovely decoration, romantic candle light – all helps together to make for an enchanting Valentine’s Day.

Valentine’s Day Flowers delight every loving heart. Flowers are among the most prominent symbols of love. They make the partner feel appreciated and valued. Valentine’s Day flowers may well be the most important flowers you send all year. Flowers speak to the heart through their beauty, their simple elegance, their uplifting scent and long lasting aroma. When words fail, say it with flowers! Flowers convey your love and care.

A Gift Basket for Valentine’s Day is another special and personal gift idea, filled with things your partner loves: a precious aftershave or perfume; a wellness gift like a relaxing massage; a Candle-Light-Dinner for two in the favorite restaurant; or Mon Cheri in a heart-shaped gift box.

Or give your loved one an extravagant Valentine’s Day gift – maybe a symbolic tree of the rain forest with certificate, or a bottle of balsam fir essential oil to uplift the heart.

There are many ways to help celebrate Valentine’s Day. Any sign of love and care, no matter how big or small, will bring the message of love from one heart to another. Love flows from the lover to the beloved and back again to close a circle, strengthening the bond of friendship, love and marriage. Valentine’s Day is truly a day for sweethearts. It is an old tradition that had its beginning with Saint Valentine’s gift of love. This gift of love keeps on giving throughout the history of mankind for another thousand years to come. Nothing else matters but love.

Do You Have Someone in Mind This Valentines?



With Valentine’s Day fast approaching, it’s naturally a time of the year for much speculation and excitement, even if it’s just to ponder the prospect of receiving Valentines Gifts. Those of us who are in a long-term and committed relationship are surely no different; there must be a secret desire to get Valentines Gifts or at least a card!

And providing some old-fashioned traditions are adhered to, for those who don’t really have anyone in their sights, or have any interest in Valentines Gifts – or even those with a few possible suitors, but no final decision on their chosen one – it’s possible to set sights on someone as the big day approaches. Interestingly, the internet is a goldmine for information on related traditions, especially those on the subject of Valentine’s Day!

One such site in the UK notes, that on February 14th, the very first man that an unmarried woman lays eyes upon on the big day will at some point become her partner in marriage. The very same site has noted that, should a woman see certain types of birds flying around on the big day, she will marry different types of men depending upon the bird seen. It would seem that, according to tradition at least, the sight of a robin indicates that a woman will choose a sailor for a husband, and that the sighting of a goldfinch indicates that a woman will eventually choose a wealthy man as her husband. However, should she see a sparrow, although she would marry a poor man, she would at least be happy. After all, even less well off people can give outstandingly beautiful Valentines Gifts.

There is also another tradition where all of the names of a particular girl’s potential partners are written down on a piece of paper and then concealed within pieces of clay. This clay is then placed into water, resulting in a race to see which one rises to the top first, and the theory is that this piece of clay contains the name of the girl’s future husband. It’s not specified whether or not this chosen one will have a knack for picking beautiful Valentines Gifts.
Assuming that you’re not a committed singleton, whether or not you’ve gone to the effort of wrapping the names of men in clay, or have spent time checking out the sky for birds, you’re probably already thinking of the different types of Valentines Gifts you’d like to send a prospective partner; you may even be considering hedging your bets and sending Valentines Gifts to more than one person.

If you’re looking to send Valentines Gifts that really let that special person know how you feel, Valentines Gifts that simply scream “I LOVE YOU!” could be the way forward; and if this is indeed the case, why not go for a delicious set of I Love You Chocolate Hearts? Hand-made using delicious white Belgian chocolate, our I Love You Chocolate hearts feature a red-coloured heart, and are presented in a beautiful gift box. Even with so many beautiful Valentines Gifts to choose from, the I Love You Chocolate Hearts are easily one of the best Valentines Gifts around.

White chocolate is a delicious type of confectionary made from milk solids, sugar and cocoa butter. And, interestingly, even though it easily melts in the mouth, it has no problem remaining in solid form whilst at room temperature. However, those with an interest in baking should be aware of the dangers of working with white chocolate; there is a danger that the cocoa butter can actually split once the chocolate has reached its melting point. However, this problem can be easily rectified – all that’s apparently required is a little butter or chocolate, together with a little whisking. Providing then that it is treated with the correct level of care, white chocolate can be easily used during the preparation of homemade Valentines Gifts.

There is also a possibility that white chocolate could be good for the health. According to some reports, white chocolate is suitable for consumption by individuals who must not consume Theobromine, a compound found in cocoa solids that give other types of chocolate their characteristic dark appearance.


Valentine’s Day and the International Language of Love



Wherever Valentine’s Day is celebrated – and whether or not people in different countries actually exchange Valentines Day Gifts – it’s an important day for so many people; no matter what their age. February 14th is a day of love where couples spend time together, exchange beautiful and well thought out Valentines Day Gifts, and – for those who are as yet unattached – make the first moves towards what will hopefully develop into something fun, and maybe even meaningful – hopefully with the help of a few great Valentines Day Gifts.

Perhaps illustrating the importance of love and of Valentine’s Day around the world, it’s interesting that there exists so many different lists showing how to say “I love you” in the different languages spoken all over the globe. For example, one such list reminds us that “I love you” in Polish is “Kocham cie”, while in Japanese, the correct phrase is apparently “Aishite imasu”. And, of course, who can fail to know the French way of saying “I love you”, “Je t’aime”.

So, with love being such a universal human trait, how is Valentine’s Day – or celebrations similar to it – celebrated around the world? Are there any special traditions, and do observers still give what we would recognise as Valentines Day Gifts?

In the western world Valentine’s Day celebrations are often somewhat similar, and even in instances where differences exist, they aren’t necessarily that profound. For example, in both Denmark and Norway – where Valentine’s Day is known as Valentinsdag – the day is celebrated to a lesser extent, and there is a reduced emphasis placed upon the giving and receiving of Valentines Day Gifts. In Finland, there are also differences that make February 14th less orientated towards love; known as Ystavanpaiva – which translates as “Friend’s Day” – the celebration is orientated towards remembering friends rather than lovers. It is similarly the case in Estonia. Much like Denmark and Norway, these latter countries probably also place a reduced emphasis upon the giving and receiving of romantic Valentines Day Gifts.

However, in France and Spain, the day is celebrated in much the same way as it is in the UK and the US. Known in both of these continental European countries as Saint Valentin and San Valentin respectively, given the similarities the emphasis placed upon the giving and receiving of Valentines Day Gifts is probably just as strong.

Further afield, across large parts of South America, celebrations known as Secret Friend and Love and Friendship Day are generally celebrated on the same day as Valentine’s Day. And in Brazil, although Valentine’s Day on February 14th is generally not observed, a very similar type of holiday is celebrated on June 12th. Known as either the Day of the Enamoured or Boyfriends’/Girlfriends’ Day, celebrations are remarkably similar to those undertaken elsewhere on February 14th; they even involve the giving of items reminiscent of Valentines Day Gifts. In Brazil, ‘Valentines Day Gifts‘ given include flowers, cards and chocolates.

However, across the other side of the globe, beautifully executed marketing programmes have led to a number of Asian countries celebrating Valentine’s Day, and consequently spending large sums of money on suitable Valentines Day Gifts. Among the countries that favour celebrating Valentine’s Day include South Korea and China.

Elsewhere, in Israel, whether or not Valentine’s Day is actually observed, on February 14th, a traditional celebration in honour of love is observed in late August – specifically, it takes place during the month of Av, on the 15th day. Although modern ways of celebrating do now differ from traditional practices, the day remains popular and is a well-liked occasion for making declarations of love, swapping gifts – similar to our Valentine’s Day Gifts perhaps – and even making marriage proposals.

However, wherever you are in the world and whether or not you celebrate Valentine’s Day on February 14th – complete with the giving and receiving of Valentines Day Gifts – make sure you at least keep the spirit of it close to your heart; when you love and care about someone, make sure you let them know. And, although it’s not all about Valentines Day Gifts, we all appreciate a little present every now and again.


The History of Valentine’s Day



Many people try to complain that Valentine’s Day is nothing more than a “Hallmark holiday” dreamed up by businesses seeking to profit from the desperate masses seeking love. However, nothing could be further from the truth. Valentine’s Day traces its history back to ancient Rome, long before any such businesses started looking towards their bottom line.

In ancient Rome, February 14th was declared to be a celebration for Juno, queen of all the Roman gods and goddesses. Boys and girls who were segregated throughout the year would come together and draw names from a jar, and would pair up with the chosen person throughout the Festival of Lupercalia. Often, as a result of these pairings, the couples would fall in love and sometimes get married.

There are many legends of how Valentine’s Day came to be at this point in Ancient Rome. Some believe that St. Valentine helped prisoners of harsh Roman prisons escape and thus was imprisoned by the Roman Empire. This legend continues that, while in prison, St. Valentine fell in love with his jailor’s daughter and began to send her written love letters signed “From your valentine.”

The prevailing legend is that St. Valentine was a Roman priest who began to secretly marry couples against the direct orders of Emperor Claudius II. Claudius believed that he was having difficulties recruiting soldiers for his immense military because the young men didn’t want to leave their sweethearts at home. To combat this problem, he declared that both engagements and marriages were illegal. St. Valentine eventually was executed for his violation of Claudius’ orders, but his spirit lived on throughout Rome.

When the Roman Empire fell and the Church became more prevalent throughout medieval Europe, they abolished all pagan rituals and celebrations including the Festival of Lupercalia. However, the people didn’t want to give up their traditions of boys drawing girls’ names. Therefore, the Church declared February 14th to be a holiday in celebration of St. Valentine, the priest who secretly married so many couples.

However, the boys were then told to draw names of saints instead of girls. The boys were then to emulate the life of their chosen saint for the following year. The people continued this for a short period of time, and then reverted back to choosing names of girls instead of the saints.

By the 15th Century, St. Valentines Day was celebrated with lovers singing their romantic feelings to their chosen ones. People often wrote sonnets and other love poems to give to their romantic interests. By the end of this century, these sonnets were written on ornate paper and became the first valentines. In fact, the oldest surviving valentine was written in 1415 from the Duke of Orleans to his wife. It was written while he was imprisoned in the Tower of London and is on display in the British Museum in London.

Soon, valentine brands became known for their unique properties. Fraktur Valentines were known for their ornate, medieval-style lettering. A piece of paper was folded and cut into an elaborate, lacey pattern for Cutout Valentines. Puzzle Purse Valentines were complex puzzles of folded paper, allowing different portions of the valentine to be exposed at different times. Oilpaper stencils were used to paint Theoren Valentines. And Pinprick Valentines were made by, naturally, pricking a piece of paper repeatedly to transform the paper into a lace of sorts.

By the 18th Century, Valentine’s Day became extremely popular throughout Great Britain and lovers began to exchange token gifts alongside their valentine cards. Amongst the commoners, this gift was often a small sweet that could be obtained with meager funds. In the upper classes, the gifts became more and more extravagant and included large boxes of chocolates, sweets, and even jewels.

In the 1840′s, Esther A. Howland began her company producing valentines in the United States. She became known as the Mother of the Valentine, producing beautiful cards of colored paper, lace, and ornate lettering. By the late 19th Century, valentines were produced in factories by Norcross, later to be known as Hallmark.

These factory-produced valentines grew to encompass more than just declarations of undying love and devotion. As society changed and moved away from formal courtship, the valentines began to cover more light-hearted messages of humor and affection. These valentines became even more widely accepted as people expanded their circles of friends and companions.

Today, Valentine’s Day is celebrated as a holiday honoring romance. Boys and girls no longer pick names out of a jar, but instead exchange valentines with token messages of affection. In the tradition of Great Britain, children often exchange small sweets, while adult lovers give each other large cases of sweets and gifts.

While the exact origins of Valentine’s Day are slightly murky, there is no doubt that it is not just a holiday from the modern times. Instead, it is a chance to both honor the history and modernity of romance and affection.
