Where do Valentine's day symbols come from?
Lots of symbols are used to decorate Valentine cards. Red hearts are the most popular valentine symbol. Giving someone a red heart represents giving the most important part of yourself.
Another symbol is birds. It was said that birds mated around February 14th so they should play a part in valentines day. The birds often carry ribbons. This is because in the middle ages ladies gave their knights ribbons for good luck when they went on quests or competed in tournaments.
Still another symbol is lace. The word lace comes from the Latin word "laqueus" that means snare or net". So, if you send lace on your valentine you are catching that person's heart.
