Love is in the air!

Every 14th February Valentine's Day is celebrated by giving flowers, candy, chocolates, and cards to those we love.

We do this in honour of St. Valentine. But, who was St. Valentine? Watch the following video in order to find out more about him and this celebration.

Another famous figure from Valentine's Day is Cupid (which means "desire" in Latin). In Roman mythology Cupid was the son of Venus, the goddess of love. Cupid is often said to be a cheeky boy who goes around wounding both gods and humans with his arrows, causing them to fall in love.

Feel like singing to love? Here you can watch a karaoke version of one of the most romantic songs on Earth!

Love to be loved!

Laura Muntz Lyall

Laura Muntz Lyall was a talented artist born on June 18, 1860, in England. When she was a child, her family moved to Canada. 

She studied art in Canada and later in Paris, France. Laura loved painting and became famous for her beautiful pictures of women and children. Her paintings were very special because they showed people with kindness and warmth. She became one of the first Canadian women to have her art displayed in important galleries.

"Interesting Story" is a beautiful painting by her, created in 1898. In this painting, we see two children sitting together, deeply engrossed in a book. The older child is reading aloud, while the younger one listens with great interest, resting their head on the older child's shoulder. The scene is very cozy and warm, showing the special bond between the siblings.

The background of the painting shows a window with a grey sky, which makes the inside of the room feel even more comfortable and inviting. Laura Muntz Lyall was very good at capturing the feelings of childhood and the joy of reading and imagination. This painting reminds us of the happiness and comfort we can find in stories and in spending time with loved ones.

Laura passed away on December 9, 1930, but her lovely paintings are still admired today.
