February 14 is World Love Day. Knowingly or unknowingly, we celebrate more or less Valentine's Day. In my opinion, love does not require a single day. Is it possible to cross a day or a night without love? Parents will love their children, children will love their parents, lovers will love their lovers, husbands will love their wives, husbands will love their husbands, siblings will love their friends, relatives will love their loved ones, loved ones will love from time to time.
Even then, this normality is not normal in human life. So is the rhythm of love. But in order to live a healthy life, the rhythm of love is very important in human life in form, gesture, silence or words. There are differences in the expression of love in different cultures, but there is no culture without love, there is no day without love, so why this single day of love?
On this day unmarried women used to write love notes in notes and put them in a jar like a jug called billets. Then the unmarried boys would take notes from the jar. The boy would go out looking for the girl whose name was in the note. The boy would write that name on his shirt for a week and let people know the names of the people he loved. Because the Romans thought that there was no shame in expressing one's feelings to others.
There is another theory about Valentine's Day that relates to the Roman emperor Claudius II and a priest named Valentine. The Roman emperor Claudius-II forbade all marriages because he believed unmarried men were better as soldiers. According to her, unmarried men will be able to concentrate on the war because they do not have a family and will be able to sacrifice their lives easily without being left behind. A priest named Valentine broke the rules and secretly married a couple on February 14. And that's why February 14th is celebrated as Valentine's Day.
There is another idea about Valentine's Day that is related to children. In the early Christian era, children were seen as a reflection of Satan. At that time it was thought that people were born as children because they sinned. And because of this, children were treated very cruelly at that time. But a priest named Valentine was friendly with the children and because of this, the Romans imprisoned him. A childhood friend of Valentine's handed him letters and notes through a prison window. Some of the explanations for the traditional practice of handing out cards on Valentine's Day can be found in this theory. However, according to most Christian stories, the Romans killed Valentine on February 14, 269. And that's why February 14th is celebrated as Valentine's Day.
Before the eighteenth century, cards were exchanged hand in hand on Valentine's Day because posting letters was very expensive at that time. With the development of communication in the mid-1800s, letter posting became possible at a much lower cost, and Valentine's Day card exchanges became commercially viable. At the time, however, some countries banned the exchange of Valentine's Day cards for religious and social reasons. At the time, the Chicago Post Office rejected more than 25,000 cards because they were indecent and did not fit into the American letter carrier.
In 1830, in the town of Worcester, Massachusetts, an American businessman named Easter A. Howland called the first Valentine's Day commercial celebration. Valentine's Day was the center of his business profit of one hundred and thirty thousand US dollars. Valentine's Day cards are now printed from more than two thousand publications in the United States. However, I was surprised to learn that there are only 1,330 Valentine's Day cards published in Hallmark. An average of one billion Valentine's Day cards are exchanged each year, making Valentine's Day the second largest celebration after the big day.
According to data provided by Google in 2016, 15 percent of American women send themselves flowers on Valentine's Day. Of the people who buy flowers on Valentine's Day, 63 percent are men and 26 percent are women. About 3 percent of those who have pets give their pets a gift on Valentine's Day.
Flowers are a very popular gift on Valentine's Day. The red flower is seen as a symbol of deep emotion and the yellow as a symbol of jealousy. Again, different flowers have different meanings. For example, the Forgotten Me Knot flower represents deep love, while the Periwinkle flower bears the beginning of friendship when it is blue and carries happy memories of love when it is white.
However, roses are highly valued as Valentine's Day gifts. Which amounts to about 110 million. Although the price of gift items is reduced before any festival in America. However, in my experience, I have seen that the price of roses is more than doubled on Valentine's Day. My husband was advised by an Indian friend not to buy roses on Valentine's Day but to buy roses the next day. Because the price of roses on that day is again 75 percent less
