February 14th
Valentine's Day
Valentine's Day is a celebration of love and lovers. The roots of Valentine's Day goes back to
ancient times, when people paid honor to the Roman God of Fertility. This was
known as the Feast of Lupercalia, and was celebrated even then on February
14th.
The traditions of Valentine's Day are broad and many. It is a time to
exchange cards or small gifts. Chocolates and jewelry are the big hits of this
holiday as is romantic dinners.
It is a romantic event for lovers and a fun event for kids and family. Many
a couple become engaged or wed on this day. For others it is a day to fall in
love.
On Valentine's Day, 2009, 39,897 couples, friends and families got
together in Mexico City, and kissed for 10 seconds. It's the world record for
the most simultaneous kisses.
Did you know? While 75% of
chocolate purchases are made by women all year long, during the days and minutes
before Valentine's Day, 75% of the chocolate purchases are made by men. Over
$1billion of chocolate is purchased for Valentine's Day.
Did you Know? February 14th
was formerly thought to be the first day of bird's mating for the season. This
sparked the custom of sending valentines to each
other.
