Some of you hate
Valentine's Day because maybe you don't have Girlfriend/Boyfriend or your Girlfriend/Boyfriend is with some one else. But whatever reasons you have to love or hate Valentine's Day. You better known what is valentine's day. In this blog I will try to explain what is the origin of valentine's day.
No one knows exactly the original of valentine's Day. There are many stories about Valentine's Day but two of them are most prominent and they go something like this.
1) - Pagan festival lupercalia -
Pagan festivals are the festivals of 4th century Roman people. One of them is Lupercalia. This festival start with sacrificing an animal. Then slapping of yeng woman with strips of animal skin and blood this is done to give fertility for the future. Sooo unromantic.
In 5th century maybe in a effort to Christinais Pagan festivals POP JULIUS. Declare 14 February as Valentine's Day. And the second story go something like this.
2) - Saint Valentine -
This story is not a proven historical event but legend has it That. Once there was a king named CLAUDIAS GOTHICUS Or CLAUDIUS 2nd.
He Decided that in order to conquer more land as possible. He will not allow his men to got married he thinks that an unmarried man is more powerful than a married one. And keep his men from home sickness. As he had to go far from his empire to capture new one. And married men aften refuse to go too far or go at all.
But his decision was not receive well as many men and women were wanted to got married. In this time an saint gose by the name SAINT VALENTINE
decided that he had enough. And started to marrying Couples in secret. When CLAUDIUS 2 informed about this he sentence Valentines to death. He keeped in prison where people who got married because of him came and gave him flowers. With people comes daughter of Jailer. Whome with SAINT VALENTINE fell in love. Now some say that she was blind and Valentine cure her blindness by touching her eyes proving power of love. but that's not everyone agrees up on. But Valentine got hanged and the date was 14 February. before hanging he sends a letter to his love signed - "FROM YOUR VALENTINE" . A tradition was born.
So there you have it. Tell me in comments below witch story you think is true. I personally wanted to go with 2nd one because 1st one pretty messed up.
Good bay until the next one comes.
