Valentine’s Day
What does Valentine’s Day mean to you?
It is universally known as a day when couples celebrate their love. But for others this day is a day to show kindness and compassion.
Sharing a friendly word or doing simple acts of kindness is the key.
For example: making that extra run to the grocery store for a family member or neighbour, holding a door for someone coming up behind, nodding a hello, making a call to an old friend or going down memory lane with a sweet smile by yourself, makes all the difference. Make this day special for others or just for yourself.
Happy Valentine’s Day.
“Rise up, my love, my fair one, and come away.” Song of Solomon 2 verse 10
Eat, drink and be merry.
13 of 14 The Origins of Valentine’s Day
February 14th was first a pagan feast day which was later changed by Pope Gelasius 1 in AD 496 to a Christian feast day to honour Valentine. There are many legends surrounding this day claiming Saint Valentine as a priest who was martyred in AD 269 for his kindness and love to the persecuted Christians in Rome. Then later in the 14th and 15th centuries, Valentine’s Day became associated with romantic love.
