Valentine's Day
(or St. Valentine's Day) is a celebration of the early Christian saints named
Valentines. It is celebrated worldwide every year on February 14th and is a
special day for lovers to express their love. The exact origin of it is not
known, but it is believed that it began around 269 A .D. A Roman priest named St. Valentine who was
imprisoned for marrying couples. But, when Claudius became emperor, he outlawed
marriages because he feared that it would negatively affect soldiers. Valentine
defied his order and continued to perform wedding ceremonies. Eventually,
Claudius found out about this and ordered his beheading. He wrote
love letters to his jailer's daughter while he waited to be put to
death. On the day that he died, he signed his last letter to her
who said: "From Your Valentine." More than 200 years later,
Pope Gelasius set aside a day in February to honor St. Valentine. Since then,
it has been one of the most popular celebrations in the world. According to one
greeting card study, about 25% of all cards sold in America are
Valentine's Day cards. Only New Year's Day is more celebrated.
Today, it has
evolved into a celebration of lovers presenting gifts and symbols to each
other. Heart-shaped doves and the winged Cupid have become a
permanent part of Valentine's Day. The stylish alloy fluorescent color
red symbolizes it through red boxes of chocolate, flowers, or a
cake. This day began to flourish in the United States when Esther Rowland
received a card in the late 1840's from a friend. She loved it so much that she
eventually started her own greeting card business. It prospered and
exchanging cards became a part of American tradition. Valentine’s Day is right
around the corner, so you should start thinking about how to show
appreciation for your loved one.
