It is being said that kiss is the way through which the heart most likely to speak to the one we find our soul is attached to. Apart from being an intimate and intense expression of love, a kiss brings a euphoric feeling all together, in which people desire to stay for an eternity. People often say that sometimes what we cannot express through words can be expressed through a kiss. A kiss of love can spell an aura of eternal romance and can take you to a surreal world. Hence, the importance of the kiss day in Valentines’ week is probably the most exciting day after Valentines’ day. People often have a misconception that on a kiss day, a couple is meant to kiss each other and that is the only way to celebrate this day so far. Though there is nothing to disagree with, however, the aforementioned one is not the only way to celebrate this day. Since kissing between two people in love signifies a bond that no can break, the kiss day should be celebrated for the cause that “when you and me are together, the rest of the world does not matter”.

What is the history of giving kisses to others?
According to some scholarly theory, the earliest act of kissing took place in the caveman or stone age period when mothers used to pre-chew the hard foods for their little babies and transfer through kisses. Thus the very first reference to the act of kissing is related with motherly love, affection and care. Also, it stands out to be the most promising meaning of kissing, which is the ultimate love and affection for a particular person. However, later there have been found several other scholarly theories, which have indicated the fact that the act of kissing is related with the sacred religious act of union. As per that, it is believed that in most of the religious culture, kissing was an act where two people used to come closer to each others’ faces and touch lips to have a spiritual union. Less can deny the fact that a kiss doubtlessly creates sacred links between two souls. Even in the Vedic Sanskrit texts, there is the mention of words such as “drinking the moisture of the lips”. The inclusion of kiss into the holy union between two lovebirds namely marriage started first in Russia. Thus in Valentines’ week, which is considered and celebrated as the week of love, the inclusion of a day to celebrate kiss is absolutely justified and necessary.
