This Thursday was Valentines Day! Valentine is an awesome holiday. People show their appreciation and inner feelings to people. Even though, that should be done everyday, it is cool that there is a special day for affection. Usually people buy flowers, teddy bears, and CHOCOLATE for their loved ones. While, some go on dinners or dates with family and friends.

Has anyone ever wondered where the holiday originated from? There are many legends about Valentine Day such as baby cupid. The main two legends are about St. Valentine and bishop Valentine. Saint Valentine lived during AD 300. He was arrested for preaching about God after the emperor ordered that everyone should worship idols. After he was put to jail legend says he cured the jailer's daughter from blindness and fell in love with her. The night before he was beheaded he wrote a letter to her signing it, "From your Valentine." He was beheaded on February 14. While bishop Valentine was imprisoned for secretly marrying couples, which was contrary to the Roman emperor law.
Eventually, February 14 turned into a love day and became a traditional holiday.
holidays are what you make them for me I don't put the effort forth to make it worth while so it kind of just passes me by I find it funny how things change over time it sounds like Valentines day should be more of a day of mourning based on this interpretation of the history. I guess the saying is true time heals all wounds.
ReplyDeleteI like holiday's, but not all. I only like few and some of them I like it because we get to rest from school and some holiday's are very nice and good.
