Valentines Day Special 1 of 7

It's Less Than A Month To Valentines Day So I'm Dedicating A Series Of Articles To Valantines Day And What It Is All About. This is the First of a series of Seven I'll be posting over the next number of weeks.

Let's start with a little background.

Saint Valentine's Day or Valentine's Day is a holiday on February 14. It is the traditional day on which lovers express their love for each other; sending Valentine's cards, donating to charity or gifting candy. A common present on Valentine's Day is a gift of flowers

Valentine's Day derived its name from two men, both Christian martyrs among the numerous Early Christian martyrs named Valentine. The day became associated with romantic love in the circle of Geoffrey Chaucer in High Middle Ages, when the tradition of courtly love flourished.

Since the 19th century, the practice of giving handwritten notes has largely given way to mass-produced greeting cards.

The U.S. Greeting Card Association estimates that approximately one billion valentines are sent each year worldwide, making the day the second largest card-sending holiday of the year behind Christmas. The association estimates that women purchase approximately 85 percent of all valentines.

Cupid, another symbol of the holiday, became associated with Valentine's Day because he was the son of Venus, the Roman god of love and beauty. Cupid often appears on Valentine cards.

Maybe you’re the nervous type or maybe you just want to spice up your lovemaking technique this is the ideal time to do so.
