Why we celebrate Saint Valentine's day? What is it for the greeting card companies increase sales? Non. Origins may be much older that you imagine. When Rome was just like a settlement, they had a festival called Lupercalia. In honour of the God, Lupercus, who felt they protected their Wolf. The night before the festival, all girls unique placed their names in a vase. Every single man drew a name, and they are partners in all games and dances.
Finally, Rome became a town fortified and highly protected is more tormented by the wolves, but people liked the festival too to renounce it. When they became Christians, they still wanted an excuse to keep the holidays.A Christian priest named Valentine beginning has been run by the Roman Emperor Claudius II on February 14 279 AD.donc, it became his day holiday and the new reason to commemorate the day.
There are several priests named Valentine and history is foggy, whose agenda is really named pour.Une Valentine's story is that he performed weddings illegally when the Emperor passed a law prohibiting the young men to marry. Claude wanted their minds only on military service and the conquest of new land.
Another story suggests that St. Valentine has been in prison for preaching Christianity. Emperor heard speak of his good qualities and is ready to forgive Valentine if he converted to the pagan religion. He refused and even went so far as to attempt to convert the Emperor!This anger Claudius and Valentine, was sentenced to death.However, he had befriended blind daughter the jailer and performed a miracle for elle.Comme it was led by dying, he requested that a note be given to the girl. When she opened it, his show was restauré.La note signed "of your Valentine", making it the first valentine note ever written.
Valentine was in prison, it is said that he wrote notes on the petals of the flower and their attachment to people messager.beaucoup bird said that is why we say flowers on this day.
Years later, the pair singles drawing names was scorned by the Church. They decided to draw the names of saints instead, boys and boys were then to try to live in the same way as the saint for the following year.It did not go very well, and soon the old tradition has been restored.
The first Saint-Valentine's day, we know was written by the Duke of Orléans in 1415 to its femme.Il was imprisoned in the Tower of London and has written several poems in French and in English, using the word "valentine" means favorite.
Believed by those of the middle age each bird chose a partner on the Valentine's day is perfectly natural that human beings humans should too.During this period, the young men who have names for valentines had to buy gifts for their partner for the entire year.This could mean flowers before each dance or festival, or it could mean more expensive items.
A very special Valentine's gift was a pair of gloves, which in reality means that the young man asked the Lady hand in the mariage.Si accepted, she wore gloves to the Church at Easter.
Thus, Valentine is not commercially produced as some claim 14th seraient.Le holiday is now simple Awareness Day (sad), and many are Valentin anti.Je understand not why when he is not only a day for the romance.Je bet that even if you happen to be unique, there are people who take vous.La day of family and friends, and absolutely any person whom you happy in your vie.Il should be adopted as a day for love and friendship, as well as the ancient Romans did so long.
