Valentines Day
Been a thorn in my
side for years.
So, on this day, who
gets pampered and who does the pampering?
Take your
significant other
some flowers, a 'Love Card,' out to a restaurant, for a walk,
to Lovers Lane and so on.
You remember?
All of the things
that we Lovers, should be doing everyday!
In this home, we do
not wait for a
(Big Business Holiday).
We try to show our
love, Every- Day.
Most Traditionalist
do not celebrate many of the countries
holidays.
Columbus for one
Valentines Day is
another.
Valentines Day
(How did we get the day)?
In 313
A.D. (After Christ), Emperor Constantine legalized Christianity
(The
Roman Christian Church).
In 380
A.D. the church became The Roman Catholic Church.
The
Roman Catholic Church moved the day
(Valentines Day),
to February 14th,
the same day as the Roman holiday
(Lupercalia)
a Pagans holiday.
I
believe, to try to squash their day.
The
pagans, however, who adopted
as their
religion did not entirely abandon the traditions and practices they held before
their "conversion." One of these traditions brought into the church
was the fertility celebration known as the Lupercalia, which eventually became
the Valentine's holiday.
