Valentine’s Day (14 th February)<br />
A day dedicated to love<br />
Dear Children,<br />
Most people associate Valentines Day with expressions of their feeling of love.<br />
Also, children celebrate the festival by exchanging gifts and cards with their friends.<br />
There are some who believe the day to be St Valentine’s birth date.<br />
It seems that Valentine was a priest who was probably martyred on February 14 th in the<br />
name of love.<br />
Do you know what a martyr is? He is one who died for a cause (generally a good cause,<br />
which has been misunderstood and hence the person is killed)<br />
Valentine lived during the third century in Rome. The festival is associated with another<br />
‘Valentine’ who was a bishop in Interamna and was martyred in Rome.<br />
Claudius the Goth, the Emperor of Rome determined that unmarried men made better<br />
soldiers, and therefore decreed ‘marriage’ illegal.<br />
Valentine opposed the decree and persisted in solemnizing unions.<br />
When Valentine’s secret practice was revealed to the emperor, the latter decided to put<br />
Valentine to death.<br />
Valentine fell in love with the jailor’s daughter, (who it seems was blind, and whose sight<br />
he miraculously restored) while imprisoned and sent the first greeting card to his lady<br />
love signed: ‘From your Valentine’<br />
Another legend claims that Valentine was an early Christian, who loved children.<br />
Happy Valentine's Day!<br />
With love,<br />
