BE YOUR OWN CUPID: SHOOT YOUR SHOT WITH VALENTINE’S DAY FLOWERS AND GIFTS

Every February 14, most people wake up with one thing on their mind: it’s Valentine’s Day! Anywhere in the world, this celebration is widely observed. After all, love knows no race, gender, or religion, and you can celebrate it with anyone—from your partner to your friend.


Nowadays, when we hear the word Valentine’s, we automatically think of Valentine’s Day flowers and chocolates since they are the most common gifts given during the said day. However, most people do not know where the holiday originated and why it is celebrated in the first place.


Some people believe that Valentine’s evolved from the Roman festival of Lupercalia that was held every mid-February. The festival included fertility rites and a lottery that paired off women and men in hopes of warding off evil spirits. Since the ceremony was rather violent and sacrificial, Pope Gelasius I forbade it. Later on, he assigned the same day to honor the Christian martyr Saint Valentine and made it a celebration of love instead. Valentine’s Day has since been commemorated annually.


If you’re planning to shoot your shot on the day of romance this year, you are in the right place! Raphael’s Gifts & Flowers offers various kinds of Valentine’s Day flowers that will surely make your special someone smile.
