Valentine's Day is celebrated on Feb. 14. We celebrate by giving flowers, gifts and cards to those we love. We do this to honor Saint Valentine.
One legend has it that Valentine was an imprisoned man who fell in love with the jailor's daughter. Before he was put to death he sent the first "Valentine" himself when he wrote her a letter and signed it "Your Valentine", words still used on cards today.
There are many valentine symbols such as: apple, harp, cupid, rose , Love Knot, and Love birds and doves, but the most common one is a heart. Love blooms when two hearts meet!
On Friday we shared how we met our "life's partner" and what characteristics we look for in a life's partner.
We played a game where each person picked the name of someone in the group, gave him or her a special wish and a small chocolate heart. Debbie and Chris brought Valentine snacks.
