Every February, across the country, candy, flowers, and gifts are exchanged between loved ones, all in the name of St. Valentine. But who is this mysterious saint and why do we celebrate this holiday? The history of Valentine’s Day — and its patron saint — is shrouded in mystery. But we do know that February has long been a month of romance. St. Valentine’s Day, as we know it today, contains vestiges of both Christian and ancient Roman tradition. So, who was Saint Valentine and how did he become associated with this ancient rite? Today, the Catholic Church recognizes at least three different saints named Valentine or Valentinus, all of whom were martyred

One legend contends that Valentine was a priest who served during the third century in Rome. When Emperor Claudius II decided that single men made better soldiers than those with wives and families, he outlawed marriage for young men — his crop of potential soldiers. Valentine, realizing the injustice of the decree, defied Claudius and continued to perform marriages for young lovers in secret. When Valentine’s actions were discovered, Claudius ordered that he be put to death.

Other stories suggest that Valentine may have been killed for attempting to help Christians escape harsh Roman prisons where they were often beaten and tortured.

According to one legend, Valentine actually sent the first ‘valentine’ greeting himself. While in prison, it is believed that Valentine fell in love with a young girl — who may have been his jailor’s daughter — who visited him during his confinement. Before his death, it is alleged that he wrote her a letter, which he signed ‘From your Valentine,’ an expression that is still in use today. Although the truth behind the Valentine legends is murky, the stories certainly emphasize his appeal as a sympathetic, heroic, and, most importantly, romantic figure. It’s no surprise that by the Middle Ages, Valentine was one of the most popular saints in England and France.

While some believe that Valentine’s Day is celebrated in the middle of February to commemorate the anniversary of Valentine’s death or burial — which probably occurred around 270 A.D — others claim that the Christian church may have decided to celebrate Valentine’s feast day in the middle of February in an effort to ‘christianize’ celebrations of the pagan Lupercalia festival. In ancient Rome, February was the official beginning of spring and was considered a time for purification. Houses were ritually cleansed by sweeping them out and then sprinkling salt and a type of wheat called spelt throughout their interiors. Lupercalia, which began at the ides of February, February 15, was a fertility festival dedicated to Faunus, the Roman god of agriculture, as well as to the Roman founders Romulus and Remus.

To begin the festival, members of the Luperci, an order of Roman priests, would gather at the sacred cave where the infants Romulus and Remus, the founders of Rome, were believed to have been cared for by a she-wolf or lupa. The priests would then sacrifice a goat, for fertility, and a dog, for purification.

The boys then sliced the goat’s hide into strips, dipped them in the sacrificial blood and took to the streets, gently slapping both women and fields of crops with the goathide strips. Far from being fearful, Roman women welcomed being touched with the hides because it was believed the strips would make them more fertile in the coming year. Later in the day, according to legend, all the young women in the city would place their names in a big urn. The city’s bachelors would then each choose a name out of the urn and become paired for the year with his chosen woman. These matches often ended in marriage. Pope Gelasius declared February 14 St. Valentine’s Day around 498 A.D. The Roman ‘lottery’ system for romantic pairing was deemed un-Christian and outlawed. Later, during the Middle Ages, it was commonly believed in France and England that February 14 was the beginning of birds’ mating season, which added to the idea that the middle of February — Valentine’s Day — should be a day for romance. The oldest known valentine still in existence today was a poem written by Charles, Duke of Orleans to his wife while he was imprisoned in the Tower of London following his capture at the Battle of Agincourt. The greeting, which was written in 1415, is part of the manuscript collection of the British Library in London, England. Several years later, it is believed that King Henry V hired a writer named John Lydgate to compose a valentine note to Catherine of Valois.

In Great Britain, Valentine’s Day began to be popularly celebrated around the seventeenth century. By the middle of the eighteenth century, it was common for friends and lovers in all social classes to exchange small tokens of affection or handwritten notes. By the end of the century, printed cards began to replace written letters due to improvements in printing technology. Ready-made cards were an easy way for people to express their emotions in a time when direct expression of one’s feelings was discouraged. Cheaper postage rates also contributed to an increase in the popularity of sending Valentine’s Day greetings. Americans probably began exchanging hand-made valentines in the early 1700s. In the 1840s, Esther A. Howland began to sell the first mass-produced valentines in America.

According to the Greeting Card Association, an estimated one billion valentine cards are sent each year, making Valentine’s Day the second largest card-sending holiday of the year. (An estimated 2.6 billion cards are sent for Christmas.)

Approximately 85 percent of all valentines are purchased by women. In addition to the United States, Valentine’s Day is celebrated in Canada, Mexico, the United Kingdom, France, and Australia.

Valentine greetings were popular as far back as the Middle Ages (written Valentine’s didn’t begin to appear until after 1400), and the oldest known Valentine card is on display at the British Museum. The first commercial Valentine’s Day greeting cards produced in the U.S. were created in the 1840s by Esther A. Howland. Howland, known as the Mother of the Valentine, made elaborate creations with real lace, ribbons and colorful pictures known as “scrap”.

Melissa & Doug Birthday Party Birthday Cake

This is an article for the guy’s out there. I’m going to help keep you out of the doghouse this Valentine’s Day. You do realize Valentines is just around the corner, right? Uh huh…thought so.

Well here’s the first hint for you. Valentine’s Day is an IMPORTANT occasion for your wife or girlfriend. It’s the day that we hope you can show us how you really feel about us. The day you can let down your macho persona down just a bit, and let your sensitive side shine through (but not too much…too soft is yuck). We want to know that you see us as beautiful, sexy women and that you adore us. Sure we can be your best friend too, but at least for this day, don’t treat us like a basketball buddy.

Ok so without further ado, here is this years list of the 10 Worst Valentine’s Gifts that you could possibly get us.

10) Video Games

Sure some of us like to play video games once in a while. But really guys, this gift says “this game is so cool…so how could she not love it!” It’s a gift for “yourself” that you hope she can get into. Not very romantic. We’re just not interested in perfecting our Metallica Guitar Hero riffs today guys.

9) Facebook Gift

Maybe cute on random days of the year, but NOT on Valentine’s Day. It says you’re a cheapskate and too lazy to go out to get us a gift that shows some thoughtfulness.

Hockey Tickets

See also Basketball, Football, Monster Truck Jam, etc. You get the idea. Another gift that stinks of getting a gift mostly for yourself. Events are cool guys. At least put some thought into what WE might enjoy and not just tolerate for you.

7) Gym Membership

Just what exactly are you trying to say here? That we’re not attractive enough for you. You think our bodies need some fixing up. What a turn off.

6) Weight Loss Pills

What?!?! See also Gym Membership, but way worse! You think we’re fat. Great.

5) Home Pregnancy Test

Again…what?!?!

4) Vacuum Cleaner/Cleaning Products

Yeah this is romantic…not! It says that you think of us as house slaves. Do you think we actually enjoy household chores? We would much rather get something sexy and romantic. You can think of us as love slaves instead;)

3) Trinkets From The Dollar Store

Ok we’re not saying that our gifts have to be expensive. We don’t expect diamonds or a new car. But at least if you don’t have much money, use your imagination a little bit.

2) Gag Gifts

Fart cushions and fake vomit don’t amuse us. Especially on Valentine’s Day!

1) Nothing

The number one worst possible gift that you could get your special girl is to get nothing at all. I don’t think this needs much explanation.

So there you have it guys. Ok so I am just being a little sarcastic here and I know you wouldn’t really consider getting your wife or girlfriend anything on this list…right???

Ciao…Demonica

Women particularly are most likely to hang on the truth that they are unaccompanied on this day but then some men might wish they had a special someone to spent the day with also. Though, being unaccompanied on Valentine’s Day alone doesn’t need be such as gloomy day. In this article I will give you a number of tips on how to enjoy Valentine’s Day in spite of you being alone.

Majority of folks in long-distance relationship often find themselves unaccompanied on day such as Valentine’s Day, anniversary or birthday. If you find yourself in a similar situation you will most likely recognize that there are moments when you are spenting solo Valentine’s away from your treasured ones. For instance if either you or your spouse live kilometers apart from each other maybe due to work and are only with each other in the week ends, then you are most likely to be by yourself on Valentine’s Day if it comes during the weekday. on the other hand, there are several means you can use to make this day appear special. For instance, if you realize that you’re going to be unaccompanied on Valentine’s Day, strive to keep yourself active all over the day.

Plan schedules like as pedicure or manicures, run chores or schedule plans to see a pal for lunch or supper. This will assist to keep you from thinking much about the fact that it is Valentine’s Day. You could also formulate plans for the coming weekend before hand so that you have a thing to look ahead to. You might still be solo on Valentine’s Day but if you realize that you will be spending the weekend alone, it will assist you to make this day feel lesser gloomy and will greatly assist you to feel less lonely.

If you are unaccompanied on Valentine’s Day due to the fact that you are not involved in a relation, you could still have a wonderful time on Valentine’s Day. One way of doing of this is to lease several movies and organize for diner from a very good restaurant. Try to make your order from a good restaurant that you’ve always wanted to try out or from a place that you know is exceptionally popular with married couples on Valentine’s Day. This will assist you spice up the day and make it truly special for you and you will probably be less likely to feel like you have been left out of the day’s action. Being alone in Valentines Day doesn’t mean you cannot enjoy a nice meal and have a wonderful night alone.

If you have acquaintances that are single, you could think about hosting singles only bash on Valentine’s Day. You could invite your entire single pals and ask them to come along with someone else who is solo. Your pals and you will have fun spending time together away from the couples who are prone to make Valentine’s Day seem so lonesome for the people who are not involved a relationship. You could even end up meeting somebody wonderful at the Valentine’s Day bash and the following year you won’t be alone on Valentine’s Day. You could even attempt playing match making skits at the bash which motivates the guests to establish rapport with each other. Even if you don’t end up finding somebody great, one of your pals might. Types of games you can play are such as dating game or hunter games which motivate guests to locate other participants who have some interests or character traits.

Lastly, if you are unaccompanied on Valentine’s Day, it is essential to bear in mind it does not signify you will forever be alone. One of the principal mistakes that single people make on Valentine’s Day is spending a lot of time thinking about the holiday. It is very significant to keep in mind that being unaccompanied on Valentine’s Day is not the end of the world. Try to find something to keep yourself busy like going for a manicure, exercise or taking a warm bath. This will assist you to concentrate more on yourself and your good traits than the truth that you don’t have somebody for Valentine’s Day.
