As Valentine's Day approaches us on February 14th, here are some interesting traditions and superstitions about this romantic holiday you may not of known about:
- The first man that an unmarried woman saw on February 14th would be her future husband.
- If all of the names of a girl's suitors were written on paper and wrapped in clay and the clay then put into water, the first piece that rose to the surface would contain the name of her husband-to-be.
- If a woman saw a robin flying overhead on Valentine’s Day, it meant she would marry a sailor. If she saw a sparrow, she would marry a poor man and be very happy. If she saw a goldfinch, she would marry a rich man.
- In the Middle Ages, young men and women drew names from a bowl to see who their valentines would be. Then they would wear these names on their sleeves for one week. Or otherwise known as 'wearing your heart on your sleeve'.
- In Wales, wooden love spoons were carved and given as gifts on Valentine's Day. Hearts, keys, and keyholes were the most popular decorations on the spoons. This decoration meant, "You unlock my heart!"
