Why Send Valentines Day Flowers

Valentines Day has been celebrated by lovers everywhere. Where did this traditions start anyway, and why to we exchange Valentines Day flowers and candies with each other?

Well, I have done some searching and I have come across some interesting stories that go along with this tradition.

Some of these stories may be true and others may be just what their supposed to be—stories.

Here is a short version of what may have really been the beginning of sending Valentines Day flowers on Valentines Day.

Why was St. Valentine so important?

About 8 hundred years before Valentines Day was established, A man named Claudius was in power in Rome .

He felt that marriage was a bad thing because it made poor soldiers out of men. So, he banned marriage from his empire.

St. Valentine did not agree with this rule, so he would secretly marry couples that came to him.

St. Valentine was caught and soon after he was stoned and then beheaded.

Valentine Traditions

In Wales wooden love spoons were carved and given as gifts on February 14th.

Hearts, keys and keyholes were favorite decorations on the spoons. The decoration meant, "You unlock my heart!"

In the Middle Ages, young men and women drew names from a bowl to see who their valentines would be.

They would wear these names on their sleeves for one week.

To wear your heart on your sleeve now means that it is easy for other people to know how you are feeling.

In some countries, a young woman may receive a gift of clothing from a young man. If she keeps the gift, it means she will marry him.

Some people used to believe that if a woman saw a robin flying overhead on Valentine's Day, it meant she would marry a sailor.

If she saw a sparrow, she would marry a poor man and be very happy.

If she saw a goldfinch, she would marry a millionaire.

A love seat is a wide chair. It was first made to seat one woman and her wide dress.

Later, the love seat or courting seat had two sections, often in an S-shape.

In this way, a couple could sit together -- but not too closely!

No matter what is true and what is myth, Valentines Day has become big business for the flower, card, and candy companies.

Many exist only because of this one day a year.

If your and man and have a wife or girlfriend, and you let Valentines Day go by without getting her flowers or candy, your going to be in big trouble.

So take my advice, but some effort into your gift too.

A carefully chosen V-Day card will take you a long way; take it from a woman who knows however, Valentines Day flowers are still your best bet.

If you're lucky enough to have someone who loves you on V-Day, then you should show him or her how much they mean to you.

Those who give Valentines Day flowers may be a big money making machine for these companies but, this day allows those sometimes are not always able to show their loved ones how much they care.

Valentines Day flowers makes it easier for everyone to prove their love and devotion to the one's that love them.
