Valentine Traditions and Superstitions

Ancient Romans honoured the goddess Juno on February 14th. Juno was the Queen of the Roman Gods and Goddesses. The Romans also knew her as the Goddess of women and marriage. The following day, February 15th, began the Feast of Lupercalia.

In the Middle Ages, young men and women drew names from a bowl to see who their valentines would be. They would wear these names on their sleeves for one week. To wear your heart on your sleeve now means that it is easy for other people to know how you are feeling.

Some people used to believe that if a woman saw a robin flying overhead on Valentine's Day, it meant she would marry a sailor. If she saw a sparrow, she would marry a poor man and be very happy. If she saw a goldfinch, she would marry a millionaire.

Some people said if you found a glove on the road on Valentine's Day, your future beloved will have the other missing glove.

Some believed the first man's name you read in the paper or hear will be the name of the man you will marry.

Pick a dandelion that has gone to seed. Take a deep breath and blow the seeds into the wind. Count the seed that remain on the stem, and that is the number of children you will have.

Or, cut an apple in half and count how many seeds are inside, you can also tell how many children you will have.


"You will find as you look back upon your life that the moments when you have truly lived are the moments when you have done things in the spirit of love."
..HAPPY VALENTINES DAY..


Farewell! God knows when we shall meet again.

In this world things come and go, and we can't know what the future may hold. nothing really stays the same, and when we least expect it our lives are changed.

If something ever changes and we happen to lose touch please know that i'll always think of you and miss you very much.

So before the world changes i just wanted to say i'm thanful that we're been together yesterday and today.

With time and fortune on our side i hope we never part but if we do, remember you are forever in my heart!! I LOVE U STILL TAKE CARE ALWAYS OF YOUR SELF FOR IAH.GOD BLESS
Get well soon.......miss yah happy valentines day

True love comes quietly, without banners or flashing lights. If you hear bells, get your ears checked... tnx, mia.GBU!
