What is the news?
Loving couples all over the world wait for a special day throughout the year, which is called the day of love. We are talking about Valentine’s Day, which falls on 14th February every year. On this day, loving couples express their love to each other in romantic ways. Someone expresses love by giving a rose and someone woos by wearing a ring. However, in some parts of the world Valentine’s Day is celebrated in a very strange way.
writing name on onion
A tradition in Germany associates love with onions. Yes, here for centuries young women have been keeping many onions in a pot on Valentine’s Day. Each onion has the name of a man written on it, whom they want to make their life partner. It is believed that the woman with the name whose name sprouts first will get married to the same man in the future.
celebrating white and black day
In South Korea, Valentine’s Day is divided into White and Black Day. On February 14, the women here buy chocolates for their favorite men. Men who receive chocolates or gifts give gifts to their girlfriends exactly one month later, i.e. on 14th March. Those who do not get anything on both the days celebrate Black Day on 14th April. All single people come together to mourn their sorrow on this day by eating jajameang noodles.
naming a cockroach
In America, people whose love is rejected on Valentine’s Day take revenge in strange ways. New York’s Bronx Zoo runs ‘Name-a-Roach’ campaign on the day of love. In this, people are given the opportunity to give the name of their ex-boyfriend or girlfriend to a cockroach. By doing this, the zoo inspires people who have been cheated in love or have faced disappointment, to move forward in life.
find a partner by shouting through the windows
Although France is called the country of love, but finding love here too is not easy. On Valentine’s Day, there is a gathering of single women here, who go from door to door shouting in search of love. The men she likes accept her love. However, those who do not find love by the end of the day gather around bonfires. In this fire, photographs of those men who have rejected her are burnt.
offering pig things
In Germany, the pig is considered a symbol of luck and lust, which has special significance on Valentine’s Day. Here on this special day, loving couples do not gift each other flowers, jewelery and teddies etc. Instead of these, there is a tradition of giving pig items to express love. Couples give each other pig figurines, pictures of pigs or other pig-themed items to express their love.
