The L-Tron Team celebrated Valentine’s Day & Ken’s Birthday last week

 

In office celebrations

In typical L-Tron style, the team pitched in to bring in lots of sweet treats. Alex baked cookies, Julianne brought in munchkins and candy hearts were all over the office.

Although Valentine’s Day & Ken’s Birthday are close together, Ken’s birthday was Tuesday and Valentine’s day fell on a Wednesday this year. While some members of our office were traveling for both occasions (we didn’t save them any cake), we still had a great time celebrating. We ended up eating candy hearts and chocolate all week – further contributing to the L-Tron 20.

The history of Valentine’s day

 

Valentine’s day is celebrated once a year on February 14th. The holiday has evolved into a commercialized celebration of romance and love. Although historians aren’t sure as to the exact origins of Valentine’s Day, many believe it started as “Lupercalia” – a sacrificing of goats and dogs every February. Later, the Catholic Church created a new holiday that overlapped with the old pagan ritual – honoring two Christian martyrs. The martyrs, Valentine of Rome and Valentine of Terni, were both executed on February 14th. Valentine of Rome cured a young child of blindness, and Valentine of Terni healed the son of a potential religious convert. Gradually, the day became associated with romantic love, especially during the Middle Ages (lifehacker.com/the-real-history-of-valentines-day).
