Valentine's Day! Spread the Love...

Valentine's Day, in short, is the day of love.

It is the day to show those you truly care about, how much you love and appreciate them. Typically, Valentine's Day is associated with romantic love: Girlfriends, boyfriends, husbands, wives, secret admirers (and the occasional mistress).

It has now became more mainstream to show 'love' to anyone you care for: parents, children, friends and even co-workers tend to be a little sweeter to one another on Valentine's Day.

The origins of Valentine's Day are shrouded in mystery, although most people would agree it has something to do with a Dude named Valentine.

Sir Valentine was a 3rd century priest who performed marriage ceremonies against the wishes of Roman emperor Claudius II. In jail, Valentine was smitten with his jailor's daughter. On February 14, 270 Valentine was executed. before he was killed he wrote a letter to his love signed "From your Valentine."(His remains are in the Whitefriar Street Carmelite Church in Dublin).

To this day when we refer our 'Valentine,' we speak of someone we truly love (or at least someone we love enough to buy a handful of flowers and a box of assorted chocolates).

Additional Input:
  • There was an ancient pagan custom (for the Roman festival of Lupercalia on Feb 15th) where the names of the young women would be written down, collected and drawn at random by the local bachelors; pairing off couples in a game of whimsical love.
  • Many Europeans held that February 14 was the date at which birds started to mate. As a side note, this makes sense, since birds are the most monogamous of all animals (90% of bird species are monogamous).
  • Valentines Day is a day when you spread love. It is when give out Valentine's cards share hugs & kisses and spend time with the person or people that you love. On Valentine's day you should spend time with your family.
  • It is a catholic holiday. They worship or "remember" a Saint named Valentine.
