Renowned Relationship Expert Shares Symbolism of Valentine's Day
Maybe it's true that Valentine's Day was invented by Hallmark, but I don't care; I still love Valentine's Day! One of the things I love about Valentine's Day is the history and symbolism of the items used to depict the holiday of love.

STAMFORD, CT, February 12, 2011 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Dr. Patty Ann Tublin, an internationally renowned relationship expert, has just posted a new article on her web site, where she shares some of the symbolism and history of Valentine's Day. The article, "The Symbolism and History of Valentine's Day," is available at http://bit.ly/gJdH5U

Many of the symbols associated with Valentine's Day, such as the two hearts with an arrow through them and Cupid, have a unique history to them.

For example, explains Dr. Patty Ann, the two hearts with an arrow through them symbolizes love and unity. The two hearts represent the emotion of love between two people and the arrow symbolizes Cupid's dart of love, which has now united them as one.

"Valentine's Day is my favorite holiday, not only for the feeling of love in the air, but for all the interesting history and symbolism of the things used to depict the holiday of love," says Dr. Patty Ann.

Dr. Patty Ann's favorite little known fact about love symbols is the "X" that stands for a kiss when we write it on cards.

"In medieval times the average person could not write, so they signed their name with an 'x'." Dr. Patty Ann explains. "Then they would kiss the 'x' to represent their honesty attached to their signature, which is how the letter 'x' came to represent a kiss. This is also where the concept of 'sealed with a kiss' comes from."

The article also explains the meaning behind paired birds, the Greek and Roman of Valentine's Day, red roses and doves.
