Fun Valentine's Day Facts and Trivia
All kinds of fun facts and trivia about Valentine's Day from chocolates to cards to flowers What was the origin of Valentine's Day?

Well, there are a few theories. The most popular one is set in 270 AD in the Roman Empire during the reign of Emperor Claudius II.

Valentine was finally arrested and then executed for his crime on February 14th.

It started in Medieval times. Most people couldn't write their names, so they signed documents in front of a witness with an "X" and then placed a kiss upon it as a show of their sincerity.

Where did the saying to "wear your heart on your sleeve" come from?

In the Middle Ages, young women and mean drew names from a bowl to select their Valentine. They would then pin that name to their sleeves and wear it for a week before the holiday. And so, they would wear their "heart" on their sleeves.

Were there ever any Valentine's Day superstitions?

Yes, Here's one for the birds. Many years ago, some believed that if a woman saw a robin flying overhead on Valentine's Day, it meant she would marry a sailor. If she saw a sparrow, she would marry a poor man and be very happy. If she saw a goldfinch, she would marry a millionaire.

Back in the 17th century, some young women would eat a hard-boiled egg and pin five bay leaves to their pillows before going to sleep on Valentine's eve. They believed this would make them dream of their future husband.
