Valentine’s Day Fun Fact
"Love" is a powerful word that describes one of the most potent human emotions. The word is believed to have evolved from the Proto-IndoEuropean's word "leubh," which described care and desire nearly five thousand years ago. The word was incorporated into Old English as "lufu," a noun meaning "deep affection" and a verb "lufian" meaning "to be very fond of."

Valentine's Day facts and superstitions
Many traditions are followed on Valentine’s Day, all in the name of St. Valentine. Still, people may not understand why such customs are upheld. Much of the history of Valentine's Day and St. Valentine himself is shrouded in mystery, and much of what's widely accepted is inaccurate. To set the record straight, here are some facts about the holiday. • Valentine's Day is believed to have originated from a celebration in Rome during the fifth century. This celebration paid tribute to St. Valentine, a Catholic priest. Other historians surmise it was a way to "Christianize" the pagan holiday of Lupercalia, which was a fertility festival. Included in the traditions were boys and girls drawing names from a box and exchanging gifts. • The Catholic Church acknowledges at least three different saints named Valentine or Valentinus. • All of the stories surrounding St. Valentine -whether they are disputed or not -- paint him as a sympathetic and heroic individual. • Valentine's Day greetings have been popular from the Middle Ages onward, though they have been usually verbal in nature. • The oldest known written valentine still in existence today was a poem written in 1415 by Charles, Duke of Orleans, to his wife while he was imprisoned in the Tower of London following his capture at the Battle of Agincourt. • Valentine's Day is celebrated in the United States, Canada, Mexico, the United Kingdom, France, and Australia. • Valentine's Day and Mother's Day are the most popular holidays to give flowers. • According to Hallmark, women purchase 85 percent of all valentines.
