Here are some fun facts about Valentine's Day:
- Centuries ago, it was a comman belief that if a woman saw a robin flying overhead on Valentine's Day then she would marry a sailor. If she saw a sparrow, she would marry a poor man and be happy. If she saw a goldfinch, she would marry a rich man.
- Alexander Graham Bell applied for the patent on the telephone on Valentine's Day, 1876
- The custom of drawing a heart shape is thought to have come from from early attempts to draw an organ no one had seen.
- During midevial times people who could not read or write were allowed to sign documents with an "X"; the signer then kissed the "X" to show sincerity. And that is why an "X" represents a kiss.
At Amore' Studio & Photographic Design we want to wish everyone a Happy Valentine's Day. Please think of us for all your photographic needs.
