Hello, beautiful people! Welcome to my blog. It's a pleasure to have you in this space. Once again, welcome 🤗
Valentine's Day is a day that is set aside to celebrate and appreciate our loved ones, be it romantic relationships, family members, or close friends. Valentine's Day has a story on how it came to be.
Valentine's Day is named after Saint Valentine, a Christian martyr who was executed for secretly performing marriages for soldiers who were forbidden from getting married.
Is Valentine's Day celebrated in your country?
Just like many developed countries, Valentine's Day is also celebrated in my country, as it has to an extent become an integral part of our culture, and the celebration is particularly more common amongst the young folks, even though the older folks are also becoming a part of it. Valentine's Day celebration has become increasingly popular now; people go all out to share love in cash and kind with the people they love.
Does the celebration focus on love in general, such as love between friends and family, or is it only romantic love between couples celebrated?
Valentine's Day celebration is mostly focused on romantic relationships even though other people extend this love and appreciation to their family and friends.
What do you like about the celebration?
As much as people may say that they celebrate and appreciate their loved ones every day, I still like the fact that there's a day picked out just to celebrate love. I like the fact that it brings people together to share in the love. For instance, on Valentine's Day, my home church held a Valentine program where we spoke about love, marriage, and relationships. We were asked to come along with a gift or snacks to share with someone. It was a refreshing time, as I had the opportunity to talk to some people I hadn't spoken to before and also share some chocolate with a few persons.
To me, Valentine's Day is just a reminder to slow down and sincerely show love to people around you.
THANK YOU FOR READING TO THE END 🤗
