All over the world people in love celebrate February 14, known as Valentine’s Day. But why do we celebrate this day on this date? There are many theories about that.The most reliable is that one that takes us back to the year 269 AD, and coming from Rome. Claudius II, the Roman King at that time, forbade marriage and having family for men in his army because he considered that they would not be good solders. All the priests respected the emperor’s decision, except Valentine, who was the only one performing the wedding ceremony in secret. When the emperor found it out, he got him arrested and let him kill by cutting his head off. It was on Feb 14, 269. The people soon proclaimed him to the saints. From the 15th century, the people celebrate it as a patron saint.
So, today lovers from the whole world celebrate Saint Valentine’s Day or simply Valentine’s Day, by sending Valentine’s cards, flowers ,candies, as a way to express their love for each other.
Oh I love Valentine days! Its my favorite holiday!
Everybody loves it. It is a holiday full of love.
thank you for the history of Valentine’s day! what is your favorite thing to do on the day?
Eating chocolate 🙂 Thank you for reading and commenting this!
i do as well enjoy chocolate, i like going out to dinner with my wife most of all!!!
I prefer to prepare dinner at home with my husband.
we do that most of the time, but our date night is getting out and having food together!
That is good tradition. I like it. But I don’t like to eat outside.
we all have to do the things that make us happy
I know the history behind this holiday and I also that it is banned in several countries. But if I’m being honest, I like Valentine’s Day for only one reason. I love those hearts fill assorted chocolates.
Ahahaha, I love those chocolates, too…
Never knew that the poor Valentine got his head chopped off. There is so much tragedy behind love.
Yes, it is. I agree with you!
India is a copy cat(lol) This custom never existed here during my young days
Where here you mean? In India?
Why do they wear red and give out roses
I really don’t know but be sure I’ll try to find out and answer your question.
I like your post is very interesting
Thank you! I’m glad you like it!
A very interesting post. I didn’t know this.
Thank you very much! Neither me.
I will be watching a stand up comedy show this Valentine’s day. It’s an all girl’s date with an oldmaid, a widow and one who is separated.
Lucky you! Where? I would enjoy being with you there.
I spent it just around our area.
Where is it? Where are you from?
Am from the Philippines. Some establishments here have special show on Valentine’s.
I’m sure you enjoy at that time.
Yes I did enjoy the show.
Milena very interesting post-so far I did not know where and why there is this holiday
Yeah, it is very interesting, Lado.
It doesn’t matter what the important thing is that we love haha
Yes, Lado, You’re right! That’s the most important thing .
Yes I have heard the story of how Valentine performed many marriages to protect Christians from military conscription. He could be the patron sent of peace activists.
Maybe he was sent of peace activities , maybe love was the most important for him.
Holidays and celebrations give us all something to look forward to. Valentines Day is a wonderful day to spend with the person you are most fond of.
Yes, you’re right. It’s wonderful to spend time with loving persons.
