- Valentine’s Day
Valentine's Day is a day on which lovers and those who are in love declare love
Here are some of the history of Valentine's Day [Valentine's Day]:
History 1:
According to chronicle the ancient Athenian calendar, the period between mid-January to mid February is the month Gamelion, which is dedicated to the sacred marriage of Zeus and Hera Gods
In ancient Rome, February 15 is the feast of Lupercalia, a celebration of Lupercus, the god of fertility, symbolized half-naked and dressed in goat skins. As a ritual of purification, the priests of Lupercus meyembahkan goat sacrifice to the gods and then after drinking wine, they would run around the streets of Rome holding pieces of sheep skin and touch whoever they come across the street. Some historians say this as one reason for the embryo of Valentine's Day.
History 2:
According to the Catholic Encyclopedia, the name of Valentine was believed to be referring to the three martyr or saint (saint), which differed, the following:
* Priest in Rome
* Bishop Interamna (modern Terni)
* Martyr in the Roman province of Africa.
The relationship between the three martyrs was the feast of love (Valentine) is unclear. Even Pope Gelasius I in 496, stating that in fact nothing is known about these martyrs, but on February 14 designated as a memorial feast of St. Valentine. Some say that Pope Gelasius I deliberately set it to surpass the feast of Lupercalia which was celebrated on February 15.
Skeletal remains unearthed from the tomb of Saint Hyppolytus, identified as a corpse St. Valentinus. Then placed in a coffin of gold and sent to the church Whitefriar Street Carmelite Church in Dublin, Ireland. The body has been given to them by Pope Gregory XVI in 1836. Many tourists who make pilgrimages to this church on Valentine's Day (14 February), where crates of gold being paraded in a procession and brought to a high altar. On that day carried a special Mass was held and presented to the young people and those who are in a relationship of love.
Feast day was removed from the Church calendar in 1969 as part of a broader effort to remove saints that its origin is unclear, dubious and just based on the legend alone. The feast day is still celebrated in some parishes.
History 3:
Note the first association of the feast of Saint Valentine with romantic love is in the 14th century in England and France, where it is believed that February 14 is the day when birds are looking for a partner for mating. This belief is written on the work of writer named Geoffrey Chaucer's Middle English. He wrote the story Parlement of Foules (Conversation Birds) that:
For this was sent on Seynt Valentyne's day (That this was sent on the day of Saint Valentine) Whan every foul cometh ther to choose his mate (When all the birds come there to choose their partners)
In the time it was common for lovers to exchange notes on Valentine's Day and Valentine call their partner. A Valentine card from the 14th century is said to be part of a collection of writings by the British Library in London. Chances are many legends about St. Valentine were created in this era. Some of them told me that:
* In the evening before St. Valentine was going to die as a martyr (died a martyr), he has written a small declaration of love he gave to the prison warden is written "From Valentinusmu".
* When the Roman soldiers were forbidden to marry by the Emperor Claudius II, St. Valentine secretly helped marry them secretly.
In most versions of these legends, February 14, associated with miscarriage as a martyr
History 4:
Valentine was a priest who lived in Rome in the century III. He lived in the kingdom which was led by Emperor Claudius notoriety. He hated the emperor. Claudius ambition is to have a large military force, he wants all the men in his kingdom to join in dalamya.
But unfortunately, this desire is not supported. The men are reluctant to engage in warfare. Because they do not want to leave family and her lover. This made Claudius furious, he immediately ordered officials to conduct a crazy idea.
Claudius thought that if men do not marry, they would gladly join the military. Then Claudius forbade the marriage. The young couple then consider this decision was unreasonable. Hence St. Valentine refused to carry it out.
St. Valentine continued to carry out his duties as pastor, that is marrying the couple in love, although in secret. This action was eventually known by the emperors who immediately gave him a warning, but he ignored and remain blessed the wedding in a small chapel lit only by candlelight.
Until one night, he caught one of the blessed couple. The couple managed to escape, but the unfortunate St. Valentine was caught. He was imprisoned and sentenced to death with decapitated. Instead of being humiliated by the people, St. Valentine even visited by many people who support that action. They threw flowers and messages of support on windows prison where he was detained.
One of the people who believe in love that love is the daughter of the prison guards themselves. The father allows his daughter to visit St. Valentine. Not infrequently they talked a long time. The girl grow back the spirit of the preacher. He agreed that St. Valentine has done the right thing right eh benul alias.
On the day when he was beheaded aka beheaded head, ie, February 14, do not know what year, St. Valentine took her to write a message to the jailer's daughter before, she writes: With Love from Valentinemu.
Message that is then changed everything. Now every February 14, people in various parts of the world celebrate it as a day of love. People who celebrate the day to remember St. Valentine as a warrior of love, while the emperor Claudius is remembered as someone who tried to get rid of love.
In conclusion:
Of all the historical origins or above can be concluded that the "Valentine's Day has a background that is not clear at all", both from the story and the time of occurrence.
