Rose Day Greeting Cards


We know almost nothing about the origins of Valentine's Day: people generally think that its origins lie in Lupercalia (festivals of purification , resurrection and fertility) - Rose Day Greeting Cards that are Roman annual celebrations in honor of Lupercus, protector of the fields and herds - that occurred around mid-February.

Another belief is that on mid-February, as the springtime is approaching, birds start to mate.

And the day before bleeding
Preserves of fever throughout the year "
