Valentine's Day fun facts
If an individual thinks of five or six names considered to be suitable marriage
partners and twists the stem of an apple while the names are being recited, then
it is believed the eventual spouse will be the one whose name was recited at the
moment the stem broke.

73% of people who buy flowers for Valentine's Day are men, while only 27 percent
are women.

signed with an 'X' in front of a witness. The 'X' was then kissed to show

kiss.

According to Roman mythology, Cupid was the son of Venus, the goddess of love
and beauty. Cupid was known to cause people to fall in love by shooting them
with his magical arrows. But Cupid didn't just cause others to fall in love - he
himself fell deeply in love. As legend has it, Cupid fell in love with a mortal maiden named Psyche. Cupid
married Psyche, but Venus, jealous of Psyche's beauty, forbade her
daughter-in-law to look at Cupid. Psyche, of course, couldn't resist temptation
and sneaked a peek at her handsome husband. As punishment, Venus demanded that
she perform three hard tasks, the last of which caused Psyche's death. Cupid brought Psyche back to life and the gods, moved by their love, granted
Pysche immortality. Cupid thus represents the heart and Psyche the (struggles of
the) human soul.
In Medieval times, girls ate unusual foods on St Valentine's Day to make them
dream of their future husband.
