valentine's


so we all know the day valentine's day day where rosses n chocolate's prices hijack up the roof. yes, a single rose will costs u like $15 instead of whatever it usually costs. however, most of us dont really know the story behind such a romantic day. to think that valentine's day was celebrating d day that a priest was beheaded is probably far to none in our minds, but yet its true.

Valetine's day started when a priest or bishop by the name of Saint valentine's secretly went against the Roman Emperor then named Claudius's ban of marriage. you see, according to Claudius, the roman empire was getting larger n larger, thus requiring more capable n strong men to become soldiers. he viewed that when soldeirs got married, they became attached and thus will not become good soldiers. hence he issued a law the banned all marriage to assure that the empire will have quality soldiers.

however, Saint Valentine's did not agree with this ban, n secretly performed marriages. soon after the emperor found out about Valentine's doing, n beheaded him for going agaisnt his law. before he died he wrote a letter to a dear friend, signing off as From Your Valentine, which has stuck to this very day.

so while's you celebrate Valentine's day, its was d work of a priest that never gave up on love. :)

so how did you celebrate your Valentine's?
