Why Send Flowers this Valentineās Day?
Do you know about the history of Valentineās Day and how the name became associated with romance? The day was originally commemorating the death of a Christian Saint called Valentine who was executed in the pursuit of the love of his life. Emperor Claudius II believed soldiers should only have one true love ā Rome. A Christian Bishop married the pair in secret in defiance of the orders from the Emperor, who then executed Valentine on 14th February. He allegedly left a love letter to his distraught lover signed āFrom your Valentineā which is why we still use the phrase today. Now you know!
Luxury Red Roses in Dublin
Roses have always been a symbol of luxury and love.
