I choose to imagine that’s the basis for most modern holidays.
You mean you guys aren’t still celebrating like this?…
Not much has changed where I live. Once the bars let out that’s just a typical Saturday night.
That’s how my wife and I celebrate.
Fair Folk podcast is a great place to learn more about this history!
There are MANY theories on the origins of Valentine’s Day including a love letter written by St Valentine (who was imprisoned at the time for being Catholic) to his jailer’s daughter professing his love, and signed ‘Your Valentine’ ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
