THE VALENTINE DAY

The Valentine day is celebrated on February, 14th and connected with Sacred Valentine's name. To us this holiday has come from the Western Europe in the early nineties, but, as well as all over the world, has quickly outgrown frameworks of Catholic church and became really in public favourite.

 

About Valentine who has named a holiday, the little is known. It is said that he lived in III century AD, in the Roman city of Terni. On one data, it was the simple Christian priest, other legends erect it in a rank of a bishop. On a data set it is possible with sufficient confidence to assume, that Valentine was rather young, good itself, is kind and sympathetic. There are data that, along with the basic trade, Valentine was engaged in natural sciences and medicine.

 

Time of a life and Valentine's activity has coincided in due course boards of Roman emperor Claudia II which very much honoured military valour of the glorified Roman legions and not so favoured Christians. For preservation of a martial spirit the emperor has published the decree forbidding to legionaries to marry for married too much time spends in a family and is occupied by thoughts not about the blessing of empire and military valours, and about valours of absolutely other property. Not fearing imperial anger, young Christian priest Valentine continued to crown enamoured legionaries secretly. According to some data, its protection the enamoured was stretched further away - it reconciled quarrelled, wrote love letters for tongue-tied and туповатых fighters, gave брачующимся to steams flowers.

 

To keep all it secretly there was no possibility and as Roman empire was famous for the respect for laws (to this day we in many respects live by the Roman Right), day by day clouds were condensed over a head of the priest. In the end of 269 years has AD burst a thunder - Valentine has been detained, and the decree about its execution has soon been signed.

 

The legend shrouds in a romantic crape and the latest days of a life of Valentine. According to one representations, in it the blind daughter of the jailer has fallen in love. Valentine as the priest who has given a vow of chastity, could not answer on its feelings, but at night before execution (on February, 13th) has sent it the touching letter. Under other version, Valentine itself has fallen in love with the fine girl, moreover, using the medical knowledge, in expectation of execution has cured it of blindness. In this second case their correspondence looks more intelligent (after all the blind girl could not read the letter and resort to the help of the daddy-jailer.). According to the third version, in the Roman prison it was played classical "lavas стори" with letters, secret appointments, tears and the tragical end.

 

As all was actually, we do not know and already never we learn, but undoubtedly one - the young Christian priest really was lost for the sake of Love. And this Love to it it has been released very much for its one short life - love to the God, love to the fine girl, love to people in general to which it helped both as the priest and as the doctor and as the just fine person with huge soul creating good.
It is no wonder, that about Valentine have not forgotten and have selected the patron of All Enamoured. As the Christian martyr who has suffered for belief, it has been canonised by Catholic church. In the Western Europe the Valentine's day is marked with ХIII centuries, in the USA since 1777. Now and at us became one holiday more though in Russia there was a holiday enamoured. It was marked on eighth of July and has been connected with Peter's legendary love story and Февронии.

 

The basic and indispensable ritual detail of a holiday of All Enamoured are "валентинки" - cards-messages with declarations of love. Possibly, they originate from the last (or the only thing?) Valentine's letters of the beloved. "Валентинки" should be executed in the form of heart. Traditionally them write changed подчерком or the left hand and do not sign. The addressee should guess itself who exactly has sent to it "валентинку".

 

As Valentine day symbol also red roses by right are considered. It is accepted to give them on the Valentine's day. Roots of this tradition - in antique язычестве. The goddess of love the Aphrodite, hurrying up to the beloved, has attacked a bush of white roses, has wounded a foot and has empurpled roses своею blood. Since then red roses is a symbol of love and passion.

 

All ritual gifts on the Valentine's day should have the heart form. Except cards, it there can be sweets, balloons, small pillows etc. the Valentine day - suitable time for removal of all interdictions. This day pertinently to admit that was concealed for a long time on heart. Some assert, that this day the woman can approach to the darling to it to the man and is polite ask to marry it it. If it is not ready to such decisive step should thank for the done honour and to present to the woman a silk dress. This day - ideal time for a betrothal ceremony (not to confuse to marriage!) and an exchange of wedding rings.

 

At Frenchmen in the Valentine's day it is accepted to give jewelry. And here Englishmen interpret love rather broad and congratulate on the Valentine day not only people, but also favourite animals, for example, horses or dogs. It is interesting, what they give to them - small pillows in the form of the heart, filled by oats, брелки on collars?

 

And here Japanese have transformed the Valentine's day in "on March, 8th for men". This day gifts in Japan give basically to men. And to give it is accepted all man's accessories (razors, лосьоны, wallets etc.). Customs at the different people the different. But an essence one. Love it is always fine, it always a holiday! Let this holiday will be with you not only in the Valentine's day, but also every day your life! Sacred Valentine who was lost for the sake of love more 6 centuries ago, but really reached immortality thanks to it - love for all and learns at all times it us!
