According to the Greeks, the month of February corresponded to that of fertility, with the union of Zeus and Hera. With Eros, the son of Aphrodite and Cupids, the son of Venus… the Romans celebrated the Lupercalia. These pagan celebrations of love, that the church put in place, began with Valentine's Day. A holy saint who in 270 was beheaded by love and fidelity to the Christian religion. Love lost his head! From ancient Rome to the romantic, one declares his love, carries sweet notes, offers chocolate hearts and red roses, gives diamonds and a wonderful night. The pledges of eternal love!
