There will be many festivities in the province:
This year, Valentine’s Day falls on a Wednesday. The most ancient origins of this festival date back to a pagan celebration called Lupercales, in ancient Rome.
Here are a few suggestions for indulging in this celebration of love:
After your day’s work, head to one of the province’s many spas to soothe away the day’s tensions. Among them:
Don’t forget to use your Cobalt American Express card at restaurants or for home delivery: this card earns you 5X points for these purchases.
For Valentine’s Day, many hotels are offering a romantic package or special promotion on certain dates:
You could use your points to save on your hotel bill. It couldn’t be easier: with the American Express Membership Rewards program, 1,000 points give you a $10 credit on your spending.
And if you book a Marriott hotel for Valentine’s Day, you can even transfer your Membership Rewards points to the Marriott Bonvoy program or use your Marriott Bonvoy points.
Sometimes Valentine’s Day can be a day that doesn’t say anything to you or makes you feel sad a bit. Take the opportunity to get rid of your negative energy by going axe throwing. It feels good!
Valentine’s Day is linked to the Roman priest Valentine, who was beheaded on February 14 in the third century. In those days, marriages were forbidden, but this priest nevertheless continued the unions clandestinely.
In ancient Rome, the Lupercalia period took place in mid-February. According to custom, these festivities enabled men and women to couple up.
It was Pope Gelasius I who put an end to the Lupercalia. Shortly afterwards, the Catholic Church made February 14th a feast day to honor the martyr Valentine, patron saint of lovers.
At least three saints are named Valentine: Valentine of Rome, Valentine of Terni and Valentine of Rhetia.
According to history, Valentine was a Roman priest. He was beheaded on February 14, in the third century, for clandestinely celebrating Christian marriages.
On Valentine’s Day, everything depends on your Valentine’s tastes: a romantic outing to a restaurant, spa, cinema, flowers or chocolates.
To show your love this Valentine’s Day, you could make or buy a decadent dessert: chocolate fondant, chocolate mousse, chocolate soufflé or a classic chocolate cake with a chocolate and cream ganache.
The rose is a must-have flower for Valentine’s Day, a date that makes florists very happy. Certain seasonal flowers are also popular for celebrating the festival of love, such as tulips and violets.
