VALENTINE'S DAY! WHEN LOVE SIGNS THE STYLE

Are you ready to celebrate the most loving day of the whole year?  

Follow me...! here come the beauty tips… 

It is well known that Valentine's Day is the day of lovers and is celebrated every year on 14 February. But not everyone knows why this very day was chosen and what is the origin of the holiday. Here I'll tell you the most accredited story, the legend and some anecdotes about how we celebrate around the world. Valentine's Day: history and legend: It is not easy to establish the exact origin of the Valentine's Day celebration. 

The most accredited story takes us back in Roman times, when around 496 AD, Pope Gelasius I wanted to put an end to the lupercalia, pagan rites dedicated to the god of fertility Fauno, in his meaning of Luperco, protector of livestock and fields.

On this occasion, on 15 February, the rebirth of nature was celebrated, the subversion of the rules, the destruction of the pre-established order, so that society could purify itself and be reborn every year. The servants took the place of the masters, masks were worn and Roman women subjected themselves to the blows of the rods, vibrated by mostly undressed men: the belief was that this ritual propitiated fertility.

Valentine's Day, the legend:

But which Valentine's Day and who was he? Born in Interamna Nahars, the current Terni, in 176 AD, Valentine was a martyred bishop. According to legend, he was chosen as the patron saint of lovers because he was the first to celebrate the union between a Roman legionary and a Christian woman.

Certainly the Valentine's Day as we know it today is certainly not the one established by Gelasius I. We must then move to the fifteenth century, when Charles Duke of Orleans, while a prisoner in the Tower of London, he wrote love notes to his wife, calling her “sweet Valentina” based on a line from Shakespeare's Hamlet. OpheliaIndeed it reads: "Tomorrow is Valentine's Day and, as soon as the day is breaking, I who am a girl will knock on your window, I want to be your Valentina". Hence, the idea born in modern times, to exchange messages of love on the occasion of Valentine's Day.
