Valentine’s Day falls on Tuesday, February 14, 2012. There are roughly five weeks to plan something for your sweetie. Valentine’s Day has become one of the largest holidays for couples to celebrate their love. In addition, Valentine’s Day also serves as the second largest card sending holiday.
Legend has it that Valentine’s Day originated in Rome with Saint Valentine. At the time St. Valentine was a priest who went against Emperor Claudius II decision to outlaw marriage, stating that “single men made better soldiers than those with wives and families.” During this time St. Valentine continued to perform marriages for young lovers in secret. Once Claudius discovered St. Valentine never ceased performing marriages, he ordered that Valentine be put to death. St. Valentine believed in love and marriage and felt that every man should experience this type of union.
