Some say that the tradition of
sending love letters and flowers

on the 14 day of February came .

from another Roman celebra-
tion, Juno.

Juno was the name of a
beautiful Roman Goddess; she
was young, beautiful and loved
flowers and dance, The young
men use to choose young ladies
to dance with after they col-
lected wild flowers for them.

If the lady took the flowers
from the young man this would
-mean she accepted his invitation

February and if they fell in love
-and decided to get married they

would do so on the 14 of
