During the middle ages, the trend was that single males and females would pick up chits that contained the names of prospective boys and girls for matrimonial reasons and then whosoever's name the chit would show, people would expect them to be their future spouse. Aren't these traditions and customs about Valentine Day interesting?
You'll be surprised to know that even now in some parts of the world, people believe in valentine superstitions. One such superstition is that the first man an unmarried girl would see on the Valentines Day would be her would be husband. Earlier it was thought that if a lady saw a sparrow on the lover's day then she would get married to a poor man while on the other hand if she gets to catch glimpse of a goldfinch, she will have a bright future with a very rich man.
Well, these superstitions restricted themselves not only to the issue of marriage but also went to the extent of deciding as to how many children a person is likely to have on the basis of counting the total number of seeds after having cut the apple in two half pieces. Valentines day is a wonderful day and as beautiful is the day, as interesting are things associated with it, then be it the history of Valentines Day or symbols or whatever.
