Happy Valentine's Day

Description: Valentine�s Day is a special day observed on 14th February every year that celebrates love and affection. On this day people send greetings cards called �valentines� to their sweethearts, friends and even members of their families. Many valentine cards have humorous pictures while others contain romantic verses. Many cards have common phrase as, �Be my valentine.� Valentine�s Day is associated with St. Valentine, believed to be two martyrs of the early Christian Church. However, very little is known about these two martyrs except the fact that the Roman history of martyrs mentions about two saints named Valentine who were martyred on 14th February. Scholars have found it quite difficult in finding the authenticity of the legends associated with St. Valentine. There are few legends that associate the name of St. Valentine with love and affection. According to one legend Valentine was a priest in Rome during the third century. When the Emperor of Rome, Claudius II planned to have a powerful army, he felt that young unmarried men would become better soldiers than those who had wives and children. Thus, the emperor issued a decree prohibiting marriage for young men. Realizing the injustice of the decree, Valentine continued to perform marriages of young lovers in secret, thus defying the royal decree. When it was found by the emperor that Valentine was violating his decree, he ordered the execution of Valentine. According to another legend, Valentine was in fact the first one to send the 'valentine' greeting to someone he loved. It is believed that while in prison, Valentine fell in love with a young girl, probably one of the daughters of the jailor who used to visit him during his imprisonment. Before he was put to death on the orders of Emperor Claudius II, it is said that Valentine wrote a letter to the jailor�s daughter and signed it as 'From your Valentine,' an expression that is still in use today. Another story says that Valentine was an early Christian who made friends with many children. When the Romans imprisoned him as he refused to worship their gods, the children missed Valentine and tossed loving notes through the window of his cell. This story explains why people exchange messages on the Valentine�s Day. Another tale narrates the fact that Valentine restored the sight of his jailor�s blind daughter. Though there is no historical proof behind these legends associated with Valentine, with the passage of time the legends popularised the name of Valentine as the one who was sympathetic, heroic and romantic figure. As the legend of Valentine grew, St. Valentine became one of the most popular saints in France and England during the medieval period. There is no unanimity among different scholars as to how and when Valentine�s Day originated. Some trace it to an ancient Roman festival called �Lupercalia�. Others link it with one or more saints of the early Christianity. Still others connect it with the old English belief that birds choose their mates on 14th February. Most probably, Valentine�s Day came to observed due to the combination of all three of these sources. Besides, spring is considered as a time for lovers
