🕑 Added 2023-02-14 01:23:34 +0000 UTC Fun Valentine's Day facts and even "funner" cleavage! Not everyone "loves" Valentine's Day. As a matter of fact, I think most tend to dislike the Hallmark holiday which puts unnecessary pressure on us. But what about the HISTORY of Valentine's Day? I think we might all agree that it's fascinating. Fun Valentines Facts: (courtesy of Crafty Celts) 1 - Cupid started out as the Greek God, Eros. The son of Aphrodite, the goddess of love and procreation, is known for shooting two types of arrows. One arrow causes people to fall in love and the other causes them to hate each other. 2 - ‘X’ Was Originally Not A Symbol For Kiss. Though we sign off our letters and texts X’s these days as symbols of kisses, this was not this letter’s original purpose. In medieval times, when people did not know how to sign their names, they would simply sign off with an X, including "contracts". To show their fealty, loyalty, and/or affection, they would then kiss the X before sending the letter. 3 - Candy Hearts Were Originally Medical Lozenges. Boston-based pharmacist Oliver Chase invented the machine that produced small medical lozenges. When he saw the popularity of these small pop-in medicines, he turned them into candy with cute messages on them 4 - Lace, commonly used on Valentine's Day, has a double-meaning. Lace is commonly used during Valentine’s Day holiday. The word ‘lace’ comes from the Latin word, ‘laques’ which means to snare or trap. Imagine it would later be used to symbolize snapping or snaring a person’s heart. 5 - Wearing one's heart on their sleeve has an almost literal history. During medieval times, people plucked a name from a bowl to learn of their random Valentine for the one-day event. The chit they picked would then be pinned on their sleeve for all to see. Love or loathe it, the origin is definitely interesting! Xoxo (
