History of Valoentines day
Each year on February 14th, many people exchange cards, candy, gifts or flowers with their special “valentine.” The day of romance we call Valentine’s Day is named for a Christian martyr and dates back to the 5th century, but has origins in the Roman holiday Lupercalia
History of Flowers
Traditionally we see red roses and boxes of chocolate candy as popular Valentine’s Day staples. According to the website http://www.theflowerexpert.com, “Flowers overpower all other gifts on the eve of the celebration of love since flowers, flowers, and flowers only can convey the special message of love to your valentine. “Roses, especially red and pink roses, are the favorites of lovers on Valentine’s Day since the roses have been the symbol of love right from the Victorian times,”
