Love Note Day

Love Note Day is celebrated every year on September 26. This holiday is a perfect opportunity to show a little tenderness and express genuine emotion. In today’s world, heartfelt communication is often rare, so it’s wonderful to have a day that reminds us to be more open and not afraid to show our feelings.

History

The oldest known love note was written 5,000 years ago in the ancient Indian text Bhagavata Purana, where Princess Rukmini wrote a confession to King Krishna. Love letters were also part of life in Ancient Egypt and Rome. Up until the 18th century, the art of writing love letters was even taught. Love notes never lost their importance—especially during times of war. Although today most letters are digital, rather than handwritten, they remain just as meaningful and intimate.

Interesting Details

  • Paper was once so expensive that people didn’t use envelopes; instead, they folded the message and sealed it with wax.
  • During World War II, more than 2 billion letters were delivered.
  • The longest known love note was written on a piece of scotch tape 3,200 feet long by a woman in 1952 to her loved one serving in Korea.
  • Writing a love letter brings happiness not just to the recipient, but also to the writer.

How to Take Part

If you have a loved one, write them a tender, heartfelt letter. Try an unusual format, like a sonnet or poem. If you’re not a fan of writing, find a beautiful postcard online and add a personalized caption. Alternatively, create a playlist of love songs for your special someone—it’s a modern love note!
