ECH SIN FROU MAT DIER! (Love is in the air ..)

Every February 14 we celebrate Valentine’s Day.

According to various sources and opinions, the roots of Valentine’s day go back to ancient times when the Romans celebrated Lupercalia. Lupercalia was a fertility festival dedicated to Lupa (the she-wolf of Rome) and Faunus, the Roman god of agriculture. Christians trace it back to Valentine, a popular bishop in Rome who was captured and killed on February 14. As with so many other holidays that have pagan roots, divination came to play an important role in the development of modern Valentine’s Day.

The traditions of Valentine’s Day are many. Cards, gifts, chocolates and flowers are traditionally exchanged.

We have assembled some of our staff's favorite things to celebrate the Day of Love.

Valentine be mine! ❤❤❤
