Spreading some love and knowledge...

Why do you celebrate Valentine's Day?
To honor St. Valentine, to keep the 15th century tradition alive or to show your loved ones your thinking of them?
(Chances are all three!)


The earliest Valentine card recorded is from Charles, Duke of Orleans who sent a written verse to his wife in France as he was held in London after being captured.


The earliest literary link between February 14th and romance was Chaucer's Parliament of Fowls (1382).

The Victorians created the elaborate forms of Valentine's cards we use today. Using symbols of love like turtle doves, red roses, lovers' knots, Cupids, forget-me-nots, and bleeding hearts.
