Valentine's Day - A Love Story in Blooms14 January 2025 A Love Story in Bloom: Celebrating Valentine's Day with Fleurtations Cornwall Let's Start with a little history! Valentine's Day, a day dedicated to love and affection, has a rich and fascinating history. While its exact origins remain shrouded in mystery, it is believed to have roots in ancient Roman festivals and the Christian martyr, Saint Valentine. One popular legend tells of Saint Valentine, a priest who defied the Roman Emperor Claudius II, who believed unmarried men made better soldiers. Claudius II outlawed marriage for young men, but Valentine secretly performed weddings for young couples. When Claudius discovered this, he had Valentine imprisoned and eventually executed. Another legend suggests Valentine, imprisoned for his faith, befriended a young girl who was losing her sight. Before his execution, he wrote her a farewell note signed "From your Valentine," a gesture that may have inspired the tradition of sending love letters on this day. Today, Valentine's Day is a global celebration of love and appreciation, marked by the exchange of cards, gifts, and heartfelt gestures. And what better way to express your love than with a stunning bouquet of flowers? "Every Love Story is Unique" At Fleurtations Florist in Bodmin, we understand that every love story is unique.
