Gifting experiences has become a trend recently. We dive into Valentine's Day gift experience ideas
Is valentine's day, really an excuse for big corporations to have you running around buying gifts, chocolates, cards and flowers. There's more romance to the origin of valentine's day than that. For that we need to go back to the beginning, back to the third century, to the story of *** catholic priest names and valentine who defied the law, set in place against marriage vows and went ahead and married many soldiers in secret christian ceremonies. The Evening Standard said this earned him *** reputation as *** saint of love. Unfortunately, he was put behind bars for his crimes, but according to the story, while in jail he cured the jailer's blind daughter. Legend became further embroidered with an apparent letter ST valentine wrote to her before his execution. That read from your valentine. On the other hand, time says the roman looper collier festival is one of the earliest ancestors of valentine's Day, held in mid february Britannia explains. The festival celebrated the coming of spring and included fertility rites and the pairing off of women with men by lottery, buy lottery, wow, receiving flowers and chocolates. Sounds much better than getting randomly assigned to *** man. I'm happy to live in this century.
