Today, let's talk about love! Valentine's Day is just around the corner, and Agnès de Verneuil is happy to shed some light on this colorful and emotional celebration! Don't miss these little tips to make your evening worthy of being called "The Day of Lovers," and to make it a memorable one for the rest of your life!
A bit of history
Before we talk about rags, you should know that Valentine's Day is first and foremost a pagan holiday. The month of February was associated by ancient civilizations such as ancient Rome or ancient Greece with fertility and fecundity. A month when nature awakens, it is said to be the mating season for birds, and they are considered messengers of amorous omens! The Roman Catholic Church would later seek to counter these pagan rites to promote Valentine, considered the patron saint of lovers.
The first mention of Valentine's Day with a romantic connotation dates back to 14th century England. At that time, Valentine's Day was primarily for single people looking for their soul mate. Various customs existed: one of the most famous was a game of hide-and-seek where unmarried girls hid in the village and young men had to find them. These couples, sometimes formed by drawing lots, could even go on to marriage!
Valentine's Day, however, isn't celebrated the same way in different countries around the world. For example, in Brazil, lovers gather on June 12th to celebrate their love. In Israel, it's celebrated in July and August. In the United States, Valentine's Day is also a celebration of friendship, a dimension that is still little known in France.
Notice to singles
Be careful! If you're single, Valentine's Day isn't synonymous with "untimely depression"! It's also, and above all, made for going out. Remember that the primary goal of this holiday is to meet your soulmate! So get out your best clothes and go take a dip in the crowd! Maybe you'll meet Prince Charming there...
For those who are reluctant to do so, remember that this is still a new opportunity to have fun with your single friends, whether it's going out or watching a good movie.
Have fun !
In short, keep in mind that Valentine's Day is, above all, another opportunity to have fun! So wear your best dress, and get ready to spend a pleasant time with your loved ones!
