The cost of celebrating Valentine's Day has skyrocketed, with a new report revealing a 30% increase compared to 2020. While some Dubliners plan to keep celebrations modest, others remain committed to romantic gestures. Experts emphasize the importance of daily expressions of love.
A new report from the Central Statistics Office (CSO) reveals a stark reality for romantics planning a Valentine's Day dinner: expect to shell out 30% more this year compared to 2020. The cost of celebrating love has surged dramatically in recent years, according to the CSO's findings. While some Dubliners interviewed expressed their intention to keep Valentine's Day celebrations modest this year, opting for a simple takeaway meal, others remain committed to showing their affection.
One individual shared his plan to do something special for his partner, highlighting the enduring sentiment behind the holiday. Justin Flood, founder of Intro Matchmaking Agency, offers a unique perspective on Valentine's Day, advocating for consistent expressions of love throughout the year rather than confining them to a single day. He believes that love should be a daily practice, transcending the commercial aspects of the holiday. Today, the Catholic Church observes the feast of St. Valentine, the patron saint of beekeepers, epilepsy, and, most notably, love. His legacy as a symbol of romance continues to resonate globally, adding a spiritual dimension to Valentine's Day celebrations
