Ход мероприятия.

Ведущий: Do you like holidays? I do. Especially the old ones. There is something special about them.

Today we’d like to present you the holiday known all over the world – Valentine’s Day.

Ведущий: “I’ll be your sweetheart, if you will be mine,

all of my life I’ll be your valentine”

It’s here again, the day when boys and girls, sweethearts and lovers, husbands and wives, friends and neighbours, and even the office staff will exchange greetings of affection undying love or satirical comment.

Ведущий: These happy holiday celebrates friendship, love and romance. It’s time to let all those special people in your life know how much you like them. This is what friendship is all about. And you can probably think of others who are important to you - Moms and Dads, grandparents, sisters, friends and teachers. Valentine’s Day is a good time to tell them how you feel.

Ведущий:  And the quick, slick, modern way to do it is with a Valentine card. There are all kinds, to suit all tastes, the lush satin cushions, boxed and re-ribboned, the entwined hearts, gold arrows, roses, cupids, doggerel rhymes, sick sentiment and sickly sentimentality - it’s all there. Remember that receiving valentines makes people feel good. It lets them know they are liked.

Ведущий: No one really knows the actual origin of Valentine’s Day. Many historians, however, seem to trace it to an ancient Roman Festival called Lupercalia. This was held on February 15 to honor Faunus, the god of animal life, hunting, herding, the patron of husbandry, and the guardian of the secret lore of nature. After Christianity spread, some think this pagan Festival eventually became Valentine’s Day.

Ведущий: Some people connect the celebrating of Valentine’s Day with an old English belief that birds choose their mates on February, 14. This too is possible, since spring was less than a month away. The calendar used before 1582 was slightly different from the one we use now.

Ведущий: Other experts connect Valentine’s Day with 2 saints of the early Christian church. According to one story, St. Valentine was a priest who would marry young couples against the orders of the Roman Emperor Claudius II, who believed that single young men made better soldiers. This story goes back to about A.D. 200

Ведущий: There also was another St.Valentine who was a good friend of children. Because he would not worship the gods decreed by the Roman emperor, he was put into prison. While he was imprisoned, the children that he had befriended missed him and brought him loving notes. Many of the notes expressed the thought that «absence makes the heart grow fonder». He was supposedly executed on February 14 in A.D. 270. Some people think this is why we exchange friendly and caring messages on this day.

My Valentine

By Mary Catherine Parsons

I have a little valentine

That someone sent to me.

It’s pink and white

And red and blue,

And pretty as can be.

Forget – me – nots

Are round the edge,

And tiny roses, too; and

Such a lovely piece of lace,

The very palest blue.

And in the center

There’s a heart

As red as red can be!

And on it’s written

All in gold, “To you,

With love from me”

Ведущий: The ornaments that decorate valentines are symbols of love and friendship. Ornaments for early valentines were made by hand. Each had a special meaning. A fan meant “Open up your heart». A ribbon meant “You are tied up” or “You are my girl”.  Lace is the same on a valentine meant “You have caught my heart in a net.” Hearts are the most common romantic symbol. Sometimes gold and silver arrows are used. These are cupid’s arrows. Roses and forget – me – nots are symbols of love too.

Ведущий: Colours were bright too. Red is the colour most often used in valentines because it is symbol of warmth and feeling. Pink is a mixture of red and white and is quite commonly used also. White is the symbol of purity. It is believed that the bridal veil have inspired the use of lace on valentines.

Ведущий: As valentines became more and more popular so did valentine parties. Today people still keep many of the old Valentine customs. Valentines are sent. Valentine parties are held.

And today we want you to take part in such a party, because it’s specially dedicated to celebrate love and friendship.

It’s time to start our competition.
