Valentinsdagen - Valentine's Day in Norway
Valentinsdagen is Valentine's Day, February 14th. It is a feast for romantic love. In Norway, the day is marked by a gifts, wishes, or romantic adventures of love or just a day that Norwegians want to flirt a bit with.
Valentine's Day, also called all hearts day (alle hjerters dag), is a celebration of love and romance. Only in recent years has the business sector promoted this tradition in Norway.
THe day may have its roots in the Roman celebration of the goddess Juno representing women and marriage (14 February), and the start of The Lupercalia festival to expiate and purify new life in the Spring.
Valentines Day is not celebrated with as much fanfare and grandeur style compared with many other parts of the world. However, the expression of emotions and ardent love is still important and Norwegian enjoy spending time together to discover more about each other's lives. People do take time to be romantic in Norway and often celebrate the expression of love with cards, flowers and chocolate. Many Norwegians now send postcards to the ones they love on Valentinsdagen.
In Norway and the Nordic countries the celebration of Valentine's Day was an unknown practice until a few years ago. In the United Kingdom and the United States, people send Valentine cards to the one love. In the United States, the USPS has published an annual Valentine's Day stamp since 1998.
