Valentine’s day FAQs

What is the history of Valentine’s Day?

As per the legends, the history of Valentine’s Day goes as back as the third century in Rome when Emperor Claudius II outlawed marriage for young men with the belief that unmarried men are better soldiers than those with wives and families. St. Valentine who was a priest during the third century in Rome felt that this law was unjust and he continued performing marriages for young lovers in secret. But when the emperor discovered Valentine’s actions, he sentenced him to death. He was beaten, stoned and beheaded for going against the emperor and marrying young Christian couples. The date of his execution was 14th February, 270 AD.

So how did it become a festival of love that all of us celebrate as Valentine’s Day?

Valentine’s Day is said to have originated from both old Christian and Roman convention. It is believed that in order to Christianize the pagan festival of Lupercalia, which was celebrated on February 15, Pope Gelasius declared February 14th as St. Valentine’s Day and declared that it will be celebrated as the day to remember the services of St. Valentine’s to humanity.

It was not celebrated as a day of love initially. It was during the middle ages that this day got associated with love based on a common belief of people in England and France that February 14 also marks the beginning of the birds’ mating season which is considered to be very auspicious. Since then, February 14 is celebrated by lovers as Valentine’s day by sharing greetings and pleasantries.

    Valentine’s Day is a day to celebrate and express love to all your loved ones including your family, friends and everyone else who is important in your life. Generally, it is the couples who are most excited about Valentine’s Day but it’s not necessary that you celebrate the day only with your boyfriend, girlfriend, husband or wife. It is the day to celebrate love, not to celebrate a specific relationship. So, celebrate it with everyone you love and everyone who matters to you. Show love and affection to your mother, father and everyone else you come across on this day. It’s a day to spread love, so show your love to everyone and not just your partner.


    How to celebrate Valentine’s Day when I am single?

    You don’t need a boyfriend or girlfriend to celebrate Valentine’s day, you can celebrate Valentine’s day with your friends or family as well. The best way to celebrate Valentine’s Day when you are single is to celebrate it with your other single friends. Hang out with them, roam around the city, make fun of other couples and laugh. Watching couples roaming all around the city will obviously make you feel a bit lonely, but why would you feel lonely if you have great friends.

    There are so many unique valentines gifts that you can give to your girlfriend. But, I guess the best way to make her feel special is giving her multiple gifts, few big ones and a number of small gifts. Being her boyfriend, you would be the best person to know what she would love the most.

    You can also choose to buy some Valentine gifts for your girlfriend online. You can look out for some heart-shaped gifts that she can cuddle with when she misses you. Along with these, get her a box of her favourite chocolates, a valentine’s day card and some red roses, of course.

    Hand Of the King

    Selecting the perfecting Valentine’s day gift for your boyfriend could be a little tricky because unlike for girls, there are not many generic gift options to choose for a boy apart from deodorants or wallets. To find the best gift for your boyfriend, you need to think about things he loves. For example, if he is a Game of Thrones’ fan, you can gift him this Hand of the King Brooch. Or if he is into gadgets, you can order some cool gadgets online. If your boyfriend smokes, get him this cool transformer ashtray. The trick is to know what he likes and get a gift accordingly. It doesn’t take much to keep your boyfriend happy, just a simple and useful gift will work well.
