Valentine's Day

Each year on February 14th, many people exchange cards, candy, gifts or flowers with their special 'valentine'. The day of romance we call Valentine's Day is named for a Christian martyr and dates back to the 5th century, but has origins in the Roman holiday Lupercalia.

How did St. Valentine become associated with love and romance? There are so many stories and all of them have their true sense.

Heartwarming romantic gestures are incomparably more attractive, effective and valuable than words. For proof and guarantee that your Valentine's Day gift will seem inadequate- look no further than those famous romantic acts, which stand as some history's most passionate expressions of love. As examples: The Hanging Gardens of Babylon, Edward VIII's Abdication of the Throne, or The Taj Mahal.

This year in Lope de Vega Primary School children showed a friendship gesture to one of their classmates in Valentine's Day. They had to pick up a piece of paper where the name of a classmate was written. Noone was allowed to know which name was in the paper until the selected day, Valentine's Day. Then, everyone heard the message, always a nice and positive one. 

After the actuation, everyone was happy and we took some pictures:

Here you can see some examples of friendship gestures from children to their best friends:

Have a very nice time until next Valentine's Day!!!
