A final farewell

before my blood

Will be shed on the earth,

one last prayer

before I reach

the light of Heaven.

A last act of love

before I say goodbye to you,

and I hope that your heart

will still be open

to love

after sadness.

From your Valentine.

St. Valentine: English Version

A final farewell

before my blood

Will be shed on the earth,

one last prayer

before I reach

the light of Heaven.

A last act of love

before I say goodbye to you,

and I hope that your heart

will still be open

to love

after sadness.

From your Valentine.

On 14 February, around the year 270, a Roman priest called Valentine was stoned and beheaded. In 496, Pope Gelasius marked 14 February as St. Valentine’s Day in dedication of his martyrdom. For centuries, St. Valentine has been associated with romance, love and devotion. Yet little is known about his life – it is not even clear whether he was one person, or two. Here are 10 facts about the man behind Valentine’s Day. 1. He was a 3rd century Roman clergyman; 2. He had the power of healing; 3. “From Your Valentine” originates from a letter of his; 4. His skull is on display in Rome; 5. His blood was gifted by Pope Gregory XVI; 6. He is the patron saint of epilepsy; 7. He may have been two different people; 8. There are actually many St. Valentines The name “Valentinus” – from the Latin word valens, meaning strong, worthy and powerful – was popular in Late Antiquity; 9. His association with love began in the Middle Ages; 10. Valentine’s Day may have been an invention by Chaucer No solid evidence exists of the romantic celebrations on 14 February prior to Chaucer’s ‘Parlement of Foules’, written in 1375. 🤣😂😅😎🤣😂😅🤍😘 #saintvalentines #saintvalentinesday❤️ #carpediem #marcusberesford #love #lovefamilytime #lovefriends❤️ #live #livemoments #vivomenti #scappa (presso Gaeta, Italy) https://www.instagram.com/p/Con0DJIqT68/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

✨ LOVE IS IN THE AIR 💋 MINI-SERIES ✨⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ 💋 Use Quality Time to Show Love Like the French 💋⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ HAPPY VALENTINE’S DAY! The French culture emphasises taking time off. They make it a part time hobby to rest, enjoy life, vacation and spend time with loved ones.⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ They value time spent with those closest to them and they unapologetically take time off to do that very thing! This act of self love goes as far as having a law that requires them to work no more than 35 hours a week (full time) and secondly by refusing to work on Sundays (when possible)...⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ Next time you want to spice up your love life, steal some or all of these French customs to show love like the French. Whether that’s through words, acts of service or quality time, there is something to be said about the French manner of expressing love that we can all learn from. ⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ What about you - what is your favorite French way of expressing love? Tell me in the comments ⤵️⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ 📸 by @guendalinaflamini featuring @aline_moure ⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ #MiniSeries #SaintValentines #SaintValentinesDay #ValentinesDay #Valentines #StValentin #Fevrier2021 #Amour #Relationships #RelationshipGoals #SaintValentin #QualityTime #5LoveLanguages #LoveIsInTheAir #LoveWeek #French #FrenchLifestyle #ParisianLifestyle #ParisStyle #ParisMood #HowToBeParisian #FrenchLove #ParisLove #ParisianVibes #ParisConcierge #TravelPlanner #Concierge #ASliceofParis #AllThingsParisian #CelineConcierge⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ (at Paris, France) https://www.instagram.com/p/CLRx_lThLjG/?igshid=1j3ph5ksuk1dj

✨ LOVE IS IN THE AIR 💋 MINI-SERIES ✨⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ 💋 Love à la française with physical touch 💋⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ The French are tactile people and love touching and showing affection through physical touch. One of those eccentric customs is through the side kiss. The French glamorize as much as outsiders villainize the simple side kiss known as *un bisous*, or the shorthand, *la bise*. ⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ The custom goes like this: in France when you meet or greet, and say goodbye to a person within your circle, you give them a French side kiss. (Obviously, since the start of the pandemic, this greeting ritual has fallen out of favor because of the close physical proximity you must get to the person who is taking part in la bise.) ⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ La bise is a very subtle habit that you start to develop in France the longer you live here. I would advise not overthinking it, and just going for it if someone is leaning into you to give you *un bisous* (of course when it becomes safe and acceptable again). ⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ What do you think about the French bisou? 💋 Love it or leave it?
