The History Of Valentine's Day




Depaola wedding portrait



Valentine’s Day was first introduced to Japan in 1936 and has become widely popular. 
However, because of a translation error made by a chocolate company, 
only women buy Valentine chocolates for their spouses, boyfriends, or friends. 
In fact, it is the only day of the year many single women will reveal their crush
 on a man by giving him chocolate. 
The men don’t return the favor until White Day, 
a type of “answer day” to Valentine’s Day, which is on March 14.

This trivia provided by a friend of

More Trivia



There are various theories on the origin of Valentine’s Day, but the most popular dates back to the time of the Roman Empire during the reign of Claudius II, 270 A.D. Claudius didn’t want men to marry during wartime because he believed single men made better soldiers.
Bishop Valentine went against his wishes and performed secret wedding ceremonies. For this, Valentine was jailed and then executed by order of the Emperor on Feb. 14. While in jail, he wrote a love note to the jailor’s daughter signing it, “From your Valentine.” Sound familiar?

The comments were nasty but I take them from where they come! Keep up the good work. I love working with horses and horse people (most of the time ).
