St. Valentine’s Traditions Е. А. Бурыкина МОБУГ №2 г.Новокубанск

Слайд 13

Hundreds of years ago in England, many children dressed up as adults on Valentine's Day. They went singing from home to home. In the Middle Ages, young men and women drew names from a bowl to see who their valentines would be. They would wear these names on their sleeves for one week. To wear your heart on your sleeve now means that it is easy for other people to know how you are feeling. In Wales wooden love spoons were carved and given as gifts on February 14th. Hearts, keys and keyholes were favorite decorations on the spoons. The decoration meant: "You unlock my heart!“ Е. А. Бурыкина МОБУГ №2 г.Новокубанск

In some countries, a young woman may receive a gift of clothing from a young man. If she keeps the gift, it means she will marry him. Some people used to believe that if a woman saw a robin (малиновка, дрозд) flying overhead on Valentine's Day, it meant she would marry a sailor. If she saw a sparrow (воробей) , she would marry a poor man and be very happy. If she saw a goldfinch (золотая рыбка) , she would marry a millionaire. Е. А. Бурыкина МОБУГ №2 г.Новокубанск
