In Wales, wooden love spoons were carved and given as gifts on Valentine’s Day.
The decoration meant, “You unlock my heart!”
In the Middle Ages, young men and women drew names from a bowl to see who their valentines would be. They would wear these names on their sleeve for one week. Now
to wear your heart on the sleeve means that it is easy to know how you are
feeling.
Valentine’s Day is named after St. Valentine, the patron saint of lovers.
In the United States, Esther Howland is given credit for sending the first
valentine cards.
In some countries, a young woman may receive a gift of clothing from a young man.
If she keeps the gift, it means she will marry him.
