Very little time has passed since when Valentine's Day began to be celebrated in our country, but it has already become the most beloved and romantic holiday for people of different generations. Today, the story of St. Valentine, who crowned the legionnaires against the orders of the emperor Claudius, is known even to schoolchildren. However, the fact that on February 14th in ancient Rome was celebrated long before this holiday received the poetic name Valentine's Day is little known.
On this day, Lupercalia was held - a festival dedicated to the erotic feverish love of Faun and Juno Februata. A wild erotic holiday often ended with orgies, so in 494 AD e. Pope ordered to appoint him a patron saint, which Valentine became.
Today, everyone, regardless of age, seeks to spend the holiday sublimely and lyrically. For Valentine's Day to be remembered for a long time, it is worth preparing in advance.
First of all, you need to cook "valentines". Of course, you can buy them at the store, but it’s much nicer to do them yourself. This can be handmade cards, drawings. They can include prosaic declarations of love or specially written poems for Valentine's Day.
Peppercorn on the holiday will be brought by "valentines", written in a modified handwriting, constructed from letters cut from magazines. Let the half herself guess who is the author of the love confession. “Valentines” charades with confessions encrypted in them or a place for a romantic date are becoming increasingly popular .
Ready “valentines” can be stuck on the walls or mirrors, if lovers live together, put them in pockets, bags, even shoes of their half. Some take decisive measures: in the morning they begin with a bouquet of flowers delivered to her lover's bed.
An ordinary breakfast can be a prelude to an evening romantic dinner. It is good if the young man cooks it himself. This can be ordinary oatmeal porridge, beautifully laid out on a heart-shaped plate and decorated with flower petals. In such a festive breakfast, the main thing is not the complexity of the dishes, but the refinement of their presentation.
If a girl is engaged in breakfast, she should think about her appearance. It can be a costume resembling a monk's cassock, or, on the contrary, a transparent negligee, awakening the most immodest fantasies. The main thing is that he makes his beloved look forward to an evening meeting all day.
