Are you feeling forever alone this Valentine's Day? Well, maybe you are. But there are a lot of people in the same boat so to make you feel better or something I'll give you some fun Valentine's History, Valentine's fun facts and some corny jokes for the occasion.
1. History
So the history is pretty unclear but from what I can tell, we're sure it originated in the middle ages and is based on a saint named Valentine. The problem is, according to history.com, the Catholic church recognizes at least 3 different saints that could be called Valentine. Another question is why chose February 14th? One theory says its to make a pagan holiday more Christian and the other is that its close to the date that Saint Valentine's died. Moral of the story: no one knows where Valentine's Day came from but there are lots of theories.
2. Fun Facts
Esther A. Howland is the "Mother of Valentine" because she created the typical heart shaped Valentine's card with lace around the edges.
Christmas is the holiday that sends the most cards but Valentine's Day is in second place.
Women purchase 85% of the cards sold for Valentine's Day.
But men spend double the amount of money averaging $130.
