So we all know Valentine’s Day is just around the corner. Honestly, people forgot the reason we celebrate it and just uses it as another marketing strategy!
It is known an annual commemoration held on February 14, celebrating love and affection between intimate companions. The day is named after one or more early Christian martyrs named Valentine, established by Pope Gelasius I in 500 AD. It is traditionally a day on which lovers -well i wouldn’t use the word lovers- express their love for each other by presenting flowers, offering confectionery, and sending greeting cards (known as “valentines”). Whereas modern Valentine’s Day symbols include the heart-shaped outline, doves, and the figure of the winged Cupid. Since the 19th century, handwritten valentines have given way to mass-produced greeting cards.
To me Valentines day should be celebrated every day. Not just one day in the year which makes it extraordinary. You supposed to show love all day long.
So do yourself a favour, this year, don’t go out buying flowers, card, chocolate. Instead, handmake a card, buy melting chocolate and shaped molds, make chocolate hearts, flowers, etc. Pick some flowers, do something special to make it extra special than any other day it would be!
