We were at the pond and we saw something moving in the water!!" His friend, equally excited, continues in Swedish, "Come see, come see!! Pleeeease! What IS it?" Laughing, both out of relief and because they are adorable, you agree to go explore the depths of the pond with them. As you reach the edge of the water, both boys are tugging at you and screaming in Swedish, "See it? There it is!! What is that???"

Det firas inte bara i Sverige men i till exempel USA, Japan, England, och Frankrike. Det är en högtid som dateras ända tillbaka till medeltiden, men har rötter redan innan det. Det är ingen som vet hur Alla Hjärtans Dag kom till men det rätt säkert att den katolska kyrkan firade ett helgon vid namn av Valentinius på slutet av 400 talet. Men det är fortfarande okänt vem Valentinius faktiskt var. Enligt en medeltida berättelse så ska St. Valentinius ha återgett synen åt sin fångvaktares dotter. Det finns en annan berättelse med rommerska rötter. I den här berättelsen sägs det att Sankt Valentin som var en kristen i Rom på 200-talet blev dömd till halshuggning efter att ha trotsat Kejasare Claudius II och vigt många unga par. Innan Valentins död hann han skriva ett brev till kvinnan han älskade, nämligen fångvaktens dotter. På 1300-talet blev alla hjärtans dag en fest för ungdomar och förälskade. Detta uppkom på grund av att man tyckte att man skulle göra som fåglarna och söka en partner tidigt i vår. Sen så var målet att man skulle hålla ihop i mer än 1 år. Från och med det här började alla hjärtans dag förknippas med kärlek. I Sverige firar man det lite hur man vill, men det handlar om att göra något speciellt för den man älskar eller tycker om och att man ska fira kärlek i allmänhet. Vanligtvis köper man en present, till exempel, choklad, blommor (speciellt rosor), nallar, och geléhjärtan. Det är också vanligt att man bjuder ut sin älskade på en romantisk middag, antingen hemma eller ute på en lite finare restaurang. Vare sig det är en stor eller liten present så är det alltid tanken som räknas. ----Formal English---- St. Valentine's Day St. Valentine's Day is a holiday that is celebrated on the 14th of February. It is not only celebrated in Sweden, but also in other countries like USA, Japan, England, and France. It is a holiday that dates all the way back to the medieval times, but it has roots even before that. It is unknown how St. Valentine's Day came to be, but it is quite certain that the Catholic Church celebrated a saint by the name of Valentinius at the end of the 400s. But it is still unknown who Valentinius actually was. According to a medieval tale, St. Valentinius gave back the sight to his prison guard's daughter. There is another tale with Roman roots. In this tale is is said the St. Valentine who was a christian in Rome in the 200s was sentenced to decapitation after defying Emperor Cladius II and marrying many young couples. Before Valentine's death he wrote a letter to the woman he loved—the guard's daughter. In the 1300s St. Valentine's Day became a party for teenagers and loved ones. It became this way because they thought that they should do the same as the birds, and find a partner in early spring. After that the goal was to stay together for at least 1 year. From this, St. Valentines Day became associated with love. In Sweden you can celebrate it however you want, but it's about doing something special for the one you love or like and to celebrate love in general. Usually the presents I buy are, for example, chocolate, flowers (especially roses), teddy bears, and jelly hearts. It is also common to take out your loved one for a romantic dinner, either at home or out to a fancier restaurant. Whether it's a big or small present it is always the thought that counts. --------------------------- Learn Swedish with SwedishPod101!
