Some of them celebrated by burning pictures of men … Valentine’s Day jokes in the countries of the world

The world celebrates on February 14 of each year Valentine’s Day, or the so-called “Valentine”, in reference to Saint Valentine, who triumphed for love and became its icon in the world and devoted the day of his departure to Valentine’s Day.

Although the pharaohs were the first to celebrate love and it appeared through their pictures, engravings and statues immortalized in the days, and the most famous love stories were the story of “Isis” and “Osiris”, where “Isis” loved her husband with great love and was devoted to him after he was killed by his brother “Set” And the story of “Ramses and Nefertari”, which was inscribed on the pictures of the walls of Nefertari’s temple in Abu Simbel.

This anniversary has been celebrated since the Middle Ages, and gifts are chosen for the lovers or life partner, and red roses are preferred because it expresses love, and chocolate because it symbolizes happiness, and the most important basis for choosing a gift is that it suits the other party to whom it will be presented.

Some countries celebrate “Valentine” in a way that distinguishes it from others in a curious and perhaps even tragic scene, the most prominent of which are:

France
France is most famous for this day, when girls burn pictures of men whose relationship with them did not work out or those who betrayed them and did not marry them.

Britain
The British celebrate Valentine’s Day like they celebrate Christmas, as there is a character known as “Jack Valentine” who wanders the streets as Santa Claus does, leaving behind gifts and sweets for the children.

Denmark
Danes celebrate by buying white roses as a symbol to express their love on Valentine’s Day, so they do not buy any red roses, unlike most other countries that celebrate it.

North Amarica
North Americans use gold as a symbol to express love. From their point of view, chocolate, roses and dolls are nothing but a cliched way of expressing love.

Japan
The Japanese used to celebrate Valentine’s Day differently. Women buy gifts and chocolates for men, including bosses, colleagues and husbands. Some men return gifts a month later on the occasion of what is known as “White Day”.

Italy
Celebrating Valentine’s Day differs in Italy as it is celebrated as a spring festival, and people gather in the gardens, listen to music and read poetry, and after that, Valentine’s Day is designated as an occasion during which the lovers announce their engagement.

Philippines
Celebrating Valentine’s Day in the Philippines witnesses the organization of a large number of weddings, estimated at the thousands.

Scotland
The Scottish people buy greeting cards and gifts and exchange them in gatherings and small gatherings between lovers, where each woman chooses the name of the man accompanying her to celebrate this day.

Iran
Despite the restrictions imposed by the Iranian government on those celebrating Valentine’s Day, it is celebrated. Lovers exchange red roses, and the shops decorate their façade in red.
