I know, I know, it's a couple days late, but you know what? Valentine's Day is every day, so suck it!
No, but in all seriousness, I think it's a good day, even though we should be lovin' on each other every day of the year for the rest of our lives.
There's all this "Single's Awareness Day" and "Couples' Day" and whatever, but no one really ever looks at the simple side of Valentine's Day, that it's all about love.
But, I'm not about to get into all of that. Today, I will be giving you a history lesson, and if you don't like it, leave. Bye!
Hokai, for all you who do like history a little, here are some facts:
There were many different Christian martyrs named Valentine, such as Valentine of Rome, who was a priest, and Valentine of Terni, who was a bishop. (So, there were a lot of Valentines.) As you can see, there were no romantic elements within these martyrs, until the 14th century, where a Saint Valentine became linked to romance. The earlier Valentines, of Rome and of Terni, were forgotten. There was also a feast day on the 14th, but it was removed in 1969 because of the unknownness of why they feasted Saint Valentine's death and burial.
No love at all. I'd go into how this love and romantic-ness came about, but I'm tired, and I kinda want to go to bed. Maybe next year I'll comment more on this Valentine's Day. We shall see.
I hope all of you had a great V Day though, shared love with your family and friends, and hopefully did something memorable :)
