The 14th of February the whole Christian world celebrates Valentine's Day- patron of all lovers. This is the most romantic holiday when everyone confesses their love to each other and gives sweet gifts and valentines to their beloved ones.
For more than 18 centuries, there has been a holiday for all lovers.
According to one version, this holiday dates back to the Roman holiday Lupercalia - festival of eroticism in honor of the goddess of “feverish” love Juno Februata. Everyone stopped what they were doing and the fun began. The holiday was overgrown with rituals. The purpose of the holiday was to find one's soul mate and, as a result, after the celebration of the holiday, a large number of families were created.
According to other sources, the Lupercalia holiday was held in honor of the god Faun (Luperc is one of his nicknames), the patron saint of flocks, which was celebrated annually on February 15. And it was a festival of abundance. The day before Lupercalia was celebrated holiday of the Roman goddess of marriage, motherhood and women Juno and the god Pan. On this day, the girls wrote love letters. The letters were placed in a huge urn and then the men pulled the letters. Then each man began to court the girl whose love letter he pulled out.
In ancient Greece this holiday was called Panurgy - ritual games in honor of the god Pan (in the Roman tradition - Faun) - the patron saint of herds, forests, fields and their fertility. Pan is a merry fellow and a rake, plays the flute beautifully and always pursues the nymphs with his love.
According to some sources, Valentine's Day was once called the “Bird Wedding.” Previously, it was believed that birds formed mating pairs in the second week of the second month of the year.
It is also believed that the day of honoring St. Valentine coincides with the ancient Roman tradition of fortune telling during New Year's celebrations, since according to the Roman calendar, the new year began in mid-February.
Court chronicler of the English court Samuel Pepys at the end of the 17th century. made a note that on February 14 lovers can exchange souvenirs: gloves, rings and candies.
So it happened that a gift for Valentine's Day must include some kind of heart-shaped sweets: cake, candy, cookies, pastries, chocolate.
In Western Europe, Valentine's Day has been celebrated since the 13th century, in the USA since 1777. Now we have one more holiday, although Rus' had its own Valentine's Day. It was celebrated on the eighth of July and was associated with the legendary love story of Peter and Fevronia.
Valentine's Day Traditions
Gradually, the holiday of St. Valentine acquired its own rituals and traditions, some of which have survived to this day. And in every country they are different.
It was very popular in all countries on this day arrange weddings and get married. Some say that on this day a woman can approach a man she likes and politely ask him to marry her. If he is not ready for such a decisive step, then he should thank for the honor and give the woman a silk dress, and himself a silk cord with a heart strung on it.
In some countries, lovers give clothes to unmarried women. If the girl accepted the gift, it means that she agrees to marry this person.
There is a belief according to which the first man a girl meets on February 14 should be her Valentine, regardless of his wishes. Some people believed that if a girl saw a robin on Valentine's Day, she would marry a sailor; if she saw a sparrow, she would marry a poor man and be happy with him; if she saw a goldfinch, she would marry a millionaire.
In medieval England There was a widespread custom: to choose a “Valentine”. Several young people got together, wrote the names of the girls on pieces of parchment, put them in a hat and drew lots. The girl whose name fell to the young man became his “Valentina” for a whole year, and he became her “Valentine”. “Valentin” composed sonnets for his girlfriend, played the lute for her, accompanied her everywhere, in a word, behaved like a real knight.
There was also a custom of dressing up children as adults. Children went from house to house and sang songs about St. Valentine.
A these days the English Happy Valentine's Day not only to people, but also to beloved animals, for example, horses or dogs. In Wales, wooden “love spoons” were carved and given to loved ones on February 14th. The spoons were decorated with hearts, keys and keyholes, which meant “you found the way to my heart.”
At the beginning of the last century, Americans On Valentine's Day they began to send marzipan to their brides. But marzipan contained sugar, which was very expensive at that time. This tradition really gained momentum after sugar beets began to be widely used in 1800. The Americans urgently set up caramel production on the continent and began scratching words corresponding to the holiday on the candies. The caramels were made red and white. Red meant passion, and white meant purity of love. In the 50s, sweets began to be placed in heart-shaped cardboard boxes.
In Japan began to celebrate St. Valentine in the 30s of our century. The tradition started not on its own, but at the instigation of one large chocolate manufacturing company. Chocolate is still the most common gift on this day. And in our time, the Japanese have turned Valentine's Day into “March 8th for men.” On this day, gifts in Japan are given mainly to men. And it is customary to give all kinds of men's accessories (razors, lotions, wallets, etc.). And on this day there is an event called "The loudest love confession"- boys and girls climb onto the platform and take turns shouting declarations of love with all their might.
The French It is customary to give jewelry on Valentine's Day. And the gallant French were the first to introduce “Valentines” as love letters in quatrains.
Calm Poles On this day they prefer to visit the Poznan metropolis, where, according to legend, the relics of St. Valentine rest, and above the main altar is his miraculous icon. Poles believe that pilgrimage to her helps in matters of love.
Carefree Italians Valentine's Day is celebrated in a very different way. They consider it their duty to give gifts to their beloved, mainly sweets.
In Italy this day is called “sweet”.
Conservative Germans However, Valentine is stubbornly considered the patron saint of the mentally ill and on this day they decorate psychiatric hospitals with scarlet ribbons, and special services are held in chapels.
This holiday came to Russia and Belarus, as well as to other CIS countries, in the early 90s and soon outgrew the framework of a Catholic holiday, becoming truly popular and beloved.
Although, it should be noted that Rus' had its own Valentine's Day. It was celebrated on July 8 and was associated with the legendary love story of Peter and Fevronia.
The customs of different nations are different. But the essence is the same.
