Did you know?
The oldest known written valentine was a poem written in 1415 by Charles, Duke of Orleans, to his wife while he was imprisoned in the Tower of London following his capture at the Battle of Agincourt (how romantic!). His valentine poem is now part of the manuscript collection of the British Library in London.
Today, the Greeting Card Association--yes, such a thing does exist--estimates that around 145 million Valentine's Day cards are sent each year. With Valentine's Day just around the corner, we wanted to make sure you had the right resources to share your love with your loved ones. So, we made you some special e-cards--graphics that you can download and e-mail to your valentine(s) for the holiday.
We hope you enjoy--and Happy Valentine's Day from all of us at PHS!
(And if you want more Valentine's Day content, check out our blog sharing RNS photos of wedding ceremonies that were held in rather unique venues.)
