Western Valentine's Day customs

The customs of celebrating Valentine's Day vary in different eras. Among them, the Valentine's Day customs during the reign of Queen Victoria in Britain from 1837 to 1901 were the most unique: on February 14, pairs of lovers would transplant a spring branch with two buds about to bloom into a special pot. The first letter of the flower name must match the first letter of the lovers' names. A few days later, if the two buds on the spring branch bloom and complement each other, it indicates that the lovers will grow old together; if the two buds are separated to the east and west and bloom to the north, the lovers will eventually part ways; if the flowers bloom large and brilliantly, it means that the family will be full of children and grandchildren and happy in the future; if one flower withers and dies, one of the lovers is in danger of dying young.

In Buckinghamshire, there was a popular custom of praying on Valentine's Day night: light a candle, insert two thin needles from the bottom of the candle to the wick, silently recite the name of your lover, pray for eternal love, and when the candle burns to the tip of the needle, it is said that the loved one will knock on the door in time. There is also a Valentine's Day custom: within a week before Valentine's Day, for seven consecutive nights, take off the socks on the left foot and put them on the right foot, and repeatedly wish: "May my beloved enter my dream tonight." It is said that at this time, Yuexia Lao will throw down a lucky big red silk thread. There are also people who take off their socks and wrap them around their necks to pray for love.

After the Victorian era, the custom of Valentine's Day gradually faded. In the 1930s and 1940s, with the popularity of greeting cards, Valentine's Day became popular again. In some countries, Valentine's Day has evolved into a trend for women to express their affection to men, so March 14 has also become "return of affection", when men give gifts to women to show their "return of affection".
