Brief History of Valentine’s Day and It’s Myths


If you’re any bit romantic then you most probably celebrate Valentines Day each year on February the 14th. Valentines Day 2012 is no exception, it’s a time for Love, Flowers, Romance, Chocolate, spoiling the one you love or even the one you lust! But have you ever stopped to ask yourself what Valentines Day historically means?



Valentines Day is celebrated using the name of Saint Valentine. There is much myth and confusion regarding Saint Valentine due to the Catholic Church recognising three different ‘St Valentines’. Here’s a little overview of these myths and then perhaps you can make your mind up for yourself.


Myth #1 ♥




‘Valentine’ was a priest who served Rome during the third century. During this time the Emperor decided that un-married soldiers are much better than married ones, hence the reason he outlawed marriage for young soldiers. Valentine the priest believed this was unjust and began to perform marriages in secret for young lovers. When the emperor found this out, he sentenced Valentine to death. So basically according to this myth, Valentine the priest helped hold together the sanctuary of ‘LOVE’ thru marrying young loves. Sweet!


Myth #2 ♥




‘Valentine’ was a prisoner, and whilst being incarcerated he fell in love with a girl. This girl happened to be the daughter of the prison warden and she visited him often. According to legend just before he died he wrote her a love letter and signed it ‘From your Valentine’.


Myth #3 ♥




Others believe that Valentines Day is celebrated on the 14th of February to commemorate the anniversary of ’Valentine’ (the prisoners) death, this story perhaps reflects upon respect and heroism of a romantic and ‘in LOVE’ man/human being.



Myth #4 ♥




Is related to the Roman god Lupercalia (God of Agriculture) and the fertility festival called ‘Faunus’ that was held mid-February. This is where various ceremonies would be undertaken in order to make women in the city more fertile. After the ceremony took place the women of the city would place their names in a large urn and the Bachelors of the city would pick out a name of a lady whom they would be matched with and would have to spend a year pairing with. These pairs often resulted in marriage and LOVE!




Myth #5 ♥






It is a common belief in France and England, that Valentines Day (February the 14th) is the beginning of the mating season for birds.

 

Who do you like to WIN???

Why the Giants can win… They beat the Patriots in the Super Bowl four years ago, denying New England what would have been the first 19-0 season in NFL history. New York is on the same kind of roll now, having beaten the fifth-seeded Falcons, the top-seeded Packers and the second-seeded 49ers in the NFC playoffs after going a modest 9-7 during the regular season. They’ve won five straight games since they fell to 7-7 with their second loss of the season to the Redskins. QB Eli Manning seeks his second Super Bowl triumph. He had two 1,000-yard receivers during the regular season in Victor Cruz and Hakeem Nicks, and he’s had much more help lately from his running game and defense. Just as he did four years ago, K Lawrence Tynes put the Giants in the Super Bowl with an OT field goal in the NFC title game. The Giants beat the Patriots during the regular season, 24-20, at Gillette Stadium on Nov. 6. Manning threw the game-winning TD pass to TE Jake Ballard with 15 seconds left in that game.

Why the Patriots can win… They get their chance to avenge the Super Bowl defeat that cost their 2007 team the chance to be remembered as perhaps the greatest ever. Coach Bill Belichick and QB Tom Brady make their fifth Super Bowl appearance together, the most ever by a coach and quarterback tandem, seeking their fourth Super Bowl victory. Brady is tied with Joe Montana for the most career postseason victories by a QB, with 16. He must rebound from a two-interception, no-TD-pass performance against the Ravens in the AFC title game. The Patriots ranked 31st in the league in total defense during the regular season but played better on that side of the ball in playoff wins over the Broncos and Ravens.
