Edible Gifts & Taste For Valentine's Day

Valentine's Day is not all perceived in the same way. Indeed, the words of love can be spoken on a daily basis, not just on a holiday. But is not it wonderful that once a year everything around is filled with romantic symbols?

There are many stories about how they started celebrating Valentine's Day. We will tell the most moving. It all started with the fact that the Roman emperor Claudius II, who lived before our era , forbade his legionaries to marry. In his opinion, family relations prevented men from being good warriors. Realizing that the ban on marriage does not prevent people from loving, the priest Valentine secretly crowned the legionaries, for which he soon found himself in prison. Sitting behind bars, Valentine met the jailer's daughter and himself became a victim of Cupid. The lovers communicated, sending notes to each other, until February 14 - the day when the priest was executed. A few centuries later a holiday was celebrated in honor of the saint, which is celebrated to this day.
