Valentines is the only celebration celebrated by the whole world without a holiday declared. 14th Feb, the day where most flowers are sold expensive, the whole city is painted in red with all the love and flowers blooming around and most of us wish our loved ones gets us something we been wanting from them long time ago "LOVE". Most of us think that Valentines can be celebrated not just with the one you love and spend your life together but also with family and friends.
Lets sail thru the times together and see where and what and who is the founder of valentines......
As everyone know or maybe the most of us know, Valentines Day is named after St. Valentine, a priest who served during the third century in Rome. Valentine means strong and healthy.
According to one tale said before, Valentine actually sent the first 'valentine' greeting himself. While his other life sailed as a prisoner, it is believed that Valentine fell in love with a young girl who was blind, whom could have been his jailor's daughter as per the history says, who visit's him during his confinement day.
Before his death on the 14th Feb, it is alleged that he wrote her a love letter, which he signed 'From your Valentine,' an expression that is still in use today. Which the younger generations does not know that Valentine was actually the name of the saint and it is no longer used in nowadays generation anymore.
