February 14
Is a day of celebration of your show of Love and Affection for another. It's Cupids birthday, right? How old is he now? Like 1600 years or something? And that guy's still wearing a diaper and shooting people with arrows? I think someone might want to test him for senility or Alzheimer's or something. Although, he may already be living in retirement homes. They're always smelling like old flowers, the old people always have candy laying around, and it seems the spread of STD's continues to be a problem in those places... |

Well it was introduced, aww heck...here's some history!!!
Roman Roots The history of Valentine's Day is obscure, and further clouded by various fanciful legends. The holiday's roots are in the ancient Roman festival of Lupercalia, a fertility celebration commemorated annually on February 15. Pope Gelasius I recast this pagan festival as a Christian feast day circa 496, declaring February 14 to be St. Valentine's Day. Valentines Galore Which St. Valentine this early pope intended to honor remains a mystery: according to the Catholic Encyclopedia, there were at least three early Christian saints by that name. One was a priest in Rome, another a bishop in Terni, and of a third St. Valentine almost nothing is known except that he met his end in Africa. Rather astonishingly, all three Valentines were said to have been martyred on Feb. 14. Most scholars believe that the St. Valentine of the holiday was a priest who attracted the disfavor of Roman emperor Claudius II around 270. At this stage, the factual ends and the mythic begins. According to one legend, Claudius II had prohibited marriage for young men, claiming that bachelors made better soldiers. Valentine continued to secretly perform marriage ceremonies but was eventually apprehended by the Romans and put to death. Another legend has it that Valentine, imprisoned by Claudius, fell in love with the daughter of his jailer. Before he was executed, he allegedly sent her a letter signed "from your Valentine." Probably the most plausible story surrounding St. Valentine is one not focused on Eros (passionate love) but on agape (Christian love): he was martyred for refusing to renounce his religion. In 1969, the Catholic Church revised its liturgical calendar, removing the feast days of saints whose historical origins were questionable. St. Valentine was one of the casualties. Sooooooo, is it a bussiness??? Sure it is...a romantic one. In America alone we spend 30 billion every Feb.14 to show our affection for our loved one....or ones.....hee hee...see what i did there??? It takes a shy couple and it pushes the relationship into deeper truer water, or into the realization that they should just be friends. Either way... HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!!!!

I could tell you about geriatric love triangles. |
