Valentines Day Limoges Boxes, Gifts That Will Impress!
Celebrating Valentine’s Day has deep roots in history. Based on the ancient Roman festival of Lupercalia which was held annually on February 15 th, the pagan ceremony of the festival was intended for securing fertility and to keep out evil. In the 5 th century, Pope Gelasius recast the pagan festival as a Christian feast day, to be celebrated on February 14th as St. Valentine’s Day. Although the identity of and the story behind St. Valentine who is honored on this day remains a mystery, the celebration is associated with love and charity.
Over the centuries, celebrating Valentine’s Day evolved. By the 18 th century, exchanging gifts and hand-made cards with hearts and cupids became common in England and shortly thereafter, spread to the United States.
