Today is…Lover’s Day
Can there ever be too much love? There are many days dedicated to it, some being about love between people, such as Global Love Day and Valentine’s Day, and some being about love for inanimate objects like yarn, garlic and bacon. But Lover’s Day is just for lovers! It is a day for romance, and a day when partners express their love for each other.
There is some indication that the day stemmed from Saint George’s Day, which is also celebrated on April 23, the date that Saint George died in 303 CE. Mainly observed in Europe, it celebrates both love and literature. In the Spanish region of Catalonia, where it is known as La Diada de Sant Jordi, it is also often called El Dia de La Rosa, meaning The Day of the Rose. Being that the day is also related to literature, it is also known as El Dia del Libre, meaning The Day of the Book. This is because April 23 marks the date of the death of Miguel Cervantes, William Shakespeare, and Josep Pla. Being that this is the case, Saint George’s Day and Lover’s Day can also be seen as being related to World Book and Copyright Day and Talk Like Shakespeare Day.
