History of Promise Day
Promise Day is for you and your partner to express your feelings for each other and promise to stay by them till the end — both in good and bad times until the end of time.
The entire second week of February each year is dedicated to those who are in love. Valentine’s week begins on February 7, which is Rose Day, followed by Propose Day on February 8, Chocolate Day on February 9, and Teddy Day on February 10. Promise Day falls on February 11, Hug Day on February 12, Kiss Day on February 13, and Valentine’s Day on February 14.
The history of the celebration of Valentine’s week is an interesting one. In ancient Rome, there used to be a celebration called Lupercalia, which happened from February 13 to February 15. During the celebrations, a matchmaking lottery will be held where men pick out women’s names from a box and profess their love.
Later in the fifth century, this day was replaced with St. Valentine’s Day by Pope Gelasius. This was to honor St. Valentine, who was beheaded by Roman Emperor Claudius II because he facilitated the weddings of couples in love. Hundreds of years of traditions and customs have made it into the popular and exciting days that we observe today.
Ask any couple in a successful relationship what the secret to their success is, and they’ll always say it’s keeping the promises they make. Relationships work on trust, which is developed through promises, efforts, and actions. This day gives everyone a chance to celebrate their love, seal the commitment, and increase the trust in the relationship.
If you’re waiting for that perfect opportunity to express your love to someone or want to make up for your unfortunate mistakes, Promise Day is your savior. So, make honest promises, sweat your efforts into them and experience a wonderful world of love with your significant other!
