February 29th, also known as the leap day, is an extra day added to the month of February every 4 years. While many choose to ignore the importance of this day but little that we know that this day used to hold a special significance in the past.
Rarest But Perfect
I am sure many of you must have had an excellent date on Valentine’s Day. So, who took the giant step of arranging for a date & then finally bending on your knees expressing your partner what you feel? Needless to say, that the romantic ritual till date is mostly performed by men.Though women in the modern times are free spirited & very expressive by nature but they expect their partners to initiate.This is again very natural & something which has not changed for centuries.
But you know history has also something else to say. This rare date was chosen by women to propose to men they wanted to marry. The story goes back to an agreement between St. Patrick and St. Bridget in the fifth century, where St.Bridget on behalf of all the women petitioned St.Patrick that they have all the rights of choosing their husbands. As a result, women were allowed to propose to men every 4 years. There is also a myth that men rejecting such proposals were subjected to large fines.
Thereby co-relating the history with modern era, this post carries a special message for all the women who have no clue about how to approach the one you love- GO ahead & convey your feelings before its too late. If at all you were waiting for one BIG day, today is the DAY to create a history. All I mean to say is, just follow your heart & don’t let this opportunity go away because this is the perfect day to start dating with men. So, All the best!
