Valentine’s Day Special

It has been said that we need

Just three things in life:

Something to do,

Something to look forward to,

And someone to love.

Legend has it that the holiday became Valentine’s Day after a priest named Valentine.

Valentine was a priest in Rome at the time Christianity was a new religion.

The Emperior at that time, Claudius II, ordered the Roman soldiers NOT to marry or become engaged. Claudius believed that as married man, his soldiers would want to stay home with their families rather than fight his wars.

Valentine defied the Emperor’s decree and secretly married the young couples.

He was eventually arrested, imprisoned, and put to death.

There are varying opinions as to the origin of Valentine’s Day.

Some experts state that there was a Roman who was martyred for refusing to give up Christianity. He died on February 14, 269 A.D., Legend said that Valentine left a farewell.

Note for the jailer’s daughter, who had become his friend, and signed it “From Your Valentine”.

Gradually, February 14 became the date of exchanging love messages and St. Valentine became the patron saint of lovers.

Love

The word can have many different meanings, but through all these meanings, many people would agree that they want
to love and be loved.

Love is an education in itself.

Eleanor Roosevelt

Love is life… and if you miss love,

you miss life.

Leo Buscaglia

Love looks not with the eyes,

but with the mind.

And thus is winged Cupid painted blind.

William Shakespeare
