Valentine’s Day Symbols
The practice of sending love messages developed into people sending special cards expressing their affection.
These cards were beautiful creations handmade by the sender and individually designed to show how much they loved the recipient.
Cards would usually contain sentimental verse, proclaiming the beauty of the receiver and how much they were loved.
Saint Valentine’s Day cards were decorated with pictures of cupid, hearts and flowers and trimmed with lace and ribbon.
These images are still used today to symbolise love and are recognised all over the world.
