Maybe you do or maybe you don't.....Or maybe you hate all the hassle around it.....Or who knows you might be thinking.....Who the ..... is Valentine 😉
Or should I say Valentinus.....It seems to have been a common name in ancient Roman times. As far as history is concerned there seem to be numerous Saints and various stories connected to this date.
There have been a lot of debates on 2 holy martyrs of the same name.....Priest Valentine of Rome and Bishop Valentine of Terni......Both dating from about the 3th century.
Some say they are 2 separate persons.....Others say there was only one of them.....And then some believe they are one and the same person.
The only thing that is certain from traditions is that Valentino was a good man that blessed young couples and performed miracles of love.
I actually was quite surprised to see that the celebration of this day dates so far back 😦
I found that the oldest "Valentine" that was found dates from the 15th century and was written by a man named Charles duke of Orléans written to his wife.....He wrote "Je suis desja d'amour tanné - Ma tres doulce Valentinée".....Translated that means..... I am already sick of love - My very gentle Valentine.
A bit cheesy if you ask me haha.....But then again maybe that's what it is all about 😋

ReplyDeleteIk vind meteen de eerste het leukst! Supergrappig die fles met brief.

ReplyDeletethis is lovely but unfortunately i dont have a valentine :(

ReplyDeleteI loved the mug and the pair of wine glasses. Both look quite elegant. Considering my age I would really love these as my V day gift
ReplyDeleteThe Mug is ADORABLE! I also love the little stud earrings. I have a feeling flowers will be my gift this year, but these are cute and I will pass them along.:)
ReplyDeleteSuch great ideas, thanks so much for this!

ReplyDeleteLovely ideas! I like to most to go out of dinner with my husband
ReplyDeleteOké, ook al doe ik niet mee aan Valentijn, deze zijn zo leuk!!!! Die fles is mijn favoriet!!!
ReplyDeletewij doen niet aan valentijn. ik vind het allemaal commerciële onzin eigenlijk. mijn vriend weet wel dat ik van hem houd en ik geef dan liever een cadeautje op een andere dag, is de verrassing groter
ReplyDeleteI love the V-Day bedding idea. I think it's just super adorbs for the occasion! Thanks for these suggestions :)
ReplyDeleteDit zouden geen dingen zijn waar ik blij van zou worden. Ik vind het net zo fijn om een wandeling samen te maken en lekker te gaan uit-eten met zijn 2'en
ReplyDeleteHele leuke spulletjes! Helaas heb ik dit jaar geen Valentijn.
ReplyDeleteLiefs,
Elles
Wat een leuke ideeën allemaal! Zelf doen wij niks aan Valentijn, te commercieel.
