The History of Valentine’s Day
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.
http://www.historychannel.com/global/exhibit_templates/images/valentines_history_p1.jpgOne 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. http://www.historychannel.com/global/images/spacer.gifhttp://www.historychannel.com/global/images/spacer.gifhttp://www.historychannel.com/global/images/spacer.gifAccording 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.

You don’t have darn clue for ‘what the heck we are talking about’ Right ?
what i think personally that we were given this ‘wanna-be western’ thing from the previous generation.
secondly i do follow west.
i listen to their music. and watch their movies. follow their clothing trends.
but the thing is that i didn’t forgoten my cultural values.
i still drink Lessi and Rao.
i dont like to wear shalwar kamiz but when someone else wears it i praise him.
i can speak english well but i prefer urdu especially when i em standing in the bunch of wanna-bes.
and i proudly say that i em a pando from a backward pind of rawalpindi.
but i think the western(esp. american) culture is spreading in the world like virus.
and i dont think there are any practical solutions to stop it.
