The
most famous theory about the origin of this holiday comes from Rome,
back when Christianity was a completely new and young religion, lived a
priest Valentin. The
former emperor Claudius 1th, he ordered all the soldiers that no one
should not marry or betroth for he believed that the soldiers (as
married or engaged men) will not want to fight in his wars, but would
prefer to stay at home with their families. All priests have decided to honor the Emperor's decision, so no more I wanted to perform the wedding ceremony. However,
a priest named Valentine disobeyed the emperor's decision and began
secretly wedding ceremonies all young couples who wanted, as long as the
authorities are caught and put in prison. At 14th February (eve of the Roman holiday Lupercalia spring) priest Valentine was decapitaded. Shortly
after his death people proclaimed him a saint, and when in Rome Christianity strengthened, clergy decided to join the feast of
Lupercalia and the death of Saint Valentine in one holiday. They determined that the new holiday to celebrate will be "the 14th February", on the day of Valentine's death, and the name of the holiday was given in memory of the saint. Of
course there are other theories about the origin of this holiday, and
so I find the idea that originates from some pagan ritual, while others
are saying that in medieval times it was believed that the birds begin
to mate on 14th February, accordingly to that there is the custom of sending "Valentine" cards. However,
the most likely is that there is a Valentine's Day in memory of the
priest Valentine, however this is just one of the theories in the
series. Holiday has
become an important idea that today is Valentine, for today and from
ancient times this idea has always been worth a struggle and sacrifice, this idea should always be timeless and unconditional, always should be
commonplace and ubiquitous invisible mover of all other values in
life. This idea is called Love! On this day we celebrate Love as the only truth, while everything else is a mirage! Something
as commonplace, timeless, true and unconditional should be lived every
day, and today in the name of these ideas we honor St.Valentine! So I wish you all Happy Valentine's Day or even better since Im an "old
school" Samurai, Spartan and Praetorian I wish you....
HAPPY HOLIDAY of Lupercalia Spring &
Remeber....
