THE HISTORY OF VALENTINE'S DAY
• The celebrations of St.
Valentine's Day are
steeped in legends and
mystery.
• Who is this mysterious
saint and why do we
celebrate this holiday?
THE FIRST LEGEND
One legend contends that
Valentine was a priest
who served during the
third century in Rome.
When Emperor Claudius
II decided that single men
made better soldiers than
those with wives and
families, he outlawed
marriage for young men.
THE SECOND LEGEND
Other stories suggest that
Valentine may have been
killed for attempting to
help Christians escape
harsh Roman prisons where
they were often beaten and
tortured.
THE THIRD LEGEND
It is believed that Valentine fell in
love with a young girl — who
may have been his jailor's
daughter — who visited him in
the prison. Before his death, the
man wrote her a letter, which he
signed “From your Valentine”,
an expression that is still in use
today. It's no surprise that by
the Middle Ages, Valentine was
one of the most popular saints in
England and France.
MIDDLE AGES
Later, during the Middle Ages, it was commonly
believed in France and England that February
14 was the beginning of birds' mating season,
which added to the idea that the middle of
February — Valentine's Day — should be a day
for romance.
LOVE NOTES
In all legends there is one thingthe presence of a letter or a
note to the lover. Now they
are called "Valentines".
The peak of their popularity,
"Valentines" reached in the
eighteenth century,
particularly in England.
People used colored paper and
colored ink.
THE MOTHER OF THE
VALENTINE
The first commercial Valentine's
Day greeting cards produced
in the U.S. were created in
the 1840s by Esther A.
Howland. She made
elaborate creations with real
lace, ribbons and colorful
pictures known as "scrap".
DID YOU KNOW?
Approximately 150 millions
Valentine's Day cards
are exchanged annually,
making Valentine's Day
the second most popular
card-sending holiday
after Christmas.
Approximately 85% of all
valentines are purchased
by women.

GREAT BRITAIN
Valentine's Day began to
be popularly celebrated
around the seventeenth
century. It was common
for friends and lovers
to exchange
handwritten notes.
Ready-made cards were
an easy way for people
to express their
emotions in a time when
direct expression of
one's feelings was
discouraged.

Wales is famous for its so-called "love spoons". Before
the holiday lovers cut out of wood a spoon, decorate
it with hearts, keys and give to each other. Such
present means: “You have found a way to my heart".
RUSSIA
In Russia there is the holiday of family and love- Ivan
Kupala Day, which is celebrated on July 8 and
associated with the legendary love story of Peter and
Fevronia. Since 2008, 8 July is officially declared in
Russia as the Day of family, love and fidelity. Young
people are fond of foreign tradition and celebrate
Valentine’s Day on February 14
ICELAND
In Iceland this holiday symbolizes passionate love.
There is an interesting ritual in this country: the girls hang on the
neck of the guys pieces of coal, while those hang on theirs small
stones. The main idea of this is that the head off flames on the
day Wali while rubbing the stone on the stone has a spark.
FINLAND AND ESTONIA
In Finland Valentine's Day is called Ystävänpäivä which
translates into "Friend's day".
This day is more about remembering all your friends, not only your
loved ones.
In Estonia Valentine's Day is called Sõbrapäev, which has the
same meaning.
SLOVENIA
In Slovenia, St Valentine or Zdravko was one of the
saints of spring, the saint of good health.
It has been celebrated as the day of the first work in the
vineyards. Valentine's Day has only recently been
celebrated as the day of love.
SOUTH KOREA AND JAPAN
In South Korea, similar to Japan, women give chocolate to men on
February 14, and men give non-chocolate candy to women on
