Unforgettable Valentine's Day Flowers 2010
Love is in the air and the search for unforgettable Valentines Day 2010 Flowers is gaining momentum. The Happy Valentine's Day Gift Guide is here to offer recommendations to some of the best floral arrangements on the net.
Did you know the story of Valentine's Day has its beginnings tracing back to the third century in Rome? During this time, Emperor Claudius II decided that single men made better soldiers, so he outlawed marriage for young men.
A youthful priest known as Valentine was enraged by this injustice and defied Claudius by continuing to carry out marriages for young lovers in secret. Claudius ultimately discovered Valentine's dealings and sentenced him to death.
During his time in jail, Valentine fell in love with the daughter of the jailer, as she often visited. Before he was put to death, it is said that Valentine sent a revealing letter to the girl and signed it, "From Your Valentine".
Sadly, Valentine was executed on February 14, 270 AD. Sometime around 496 AD, Pope Gelasius proclaimed Feb. 14 as the day to give honor to Valentine, who had received the title of saint.
Giving someone you love a bouquet on Valentine's Day flowers originates from the old-fashioned tradition of sending floral bouquets to convey non-verbal messages. Charles II of Sweden believed each flower had a specific meaning associated with it, thereby giving way to meaningful conversation using only flowers.
Red roses remain the most traditional of all Valentine's Day flowers. They signify romantic love. But many other flowers can be sent to communicate and express your unique feelings of love.
Enjoy this Happy Valentine's Day Gift Guide and choose to share your message of love with unforgettable Valentines Day 2010 Flowers.
Wishing you a Happy Valentine's Day,
Kennedy
